So exhausted seeing these very nice pennies with the black spots on them. Does this devalue the coins and if so by how much?

 To CCF , we need photos of some of the coins in question to determine the extent of devaluation . But even if they have a couple of black spots ,yes it will take away some of the value .

It highly depends on the specific coin. In general, spots will reduced the coins grade which, of course, reduces the value.

hi, I am new here but what I have learned is that condition is crucial to the value of the coin. Unless it is a very rare coin.

Correct. But again, what coin are you referring too? A 1979 Lincoln Cent isn't worth anything but face. A uncirculated 1909S VDB is 2k or up. It depends on the age, mintage, and survival rate of the coin. As well as market desirability.

 When asking about a coin it usually helps with a photo of what your talking about.

Quote: condition is crucial to the value of the coin. Unless it is a very rare coin. And even then it is still important. A very rare coin in better condition is still going to be worth more than the same coin in lesser condition.
