mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9159 Posts	Posted 11/24/2010 3:45 pm Found an 86D in what I call MS60, but it has little black spots 2 or 3 on it, is it still an MS? If not what would it go down to? Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 11/24/2010 5:26 pm If it shows no signs of wear, then it is still MS. MS-60 coins typically will have a large number of spots, bag marks, etc. Ken My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/01/2010 6:39 pm If the coin has no wear, it is MS. Some minor black toning dots can drop a coin from 65 to 64 but shouldn't matter for a 60-63 coin. A gem coin with dark black toning dots can be a good candidate for some conservation since there are pros who can remove them without doing any damage. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/13/2010 9:51 pm Black spots are carbon and have done their deed - they will not come off, and they eat into the surface of the coin. Just a couple of small ones would bring about MS63 to a coin, a few more and MS62. An MS61 would have a fair amount of detracting spots, and MS60 is basically junk without wear.
