Red spot?

[sibenfi]

hi

just looking for some advice

I have a graded 1oz panda that has a spot at the bottom of the coin. close photo up not great but does appear to have a reddish tinge to it.

I am aware of red spots on gold coins, would this be the same? as not seen on silver coins, ie. a bit of copper?

I have about 25 PCGS ASEs, all but a couple have little red spots or haze.  My NGC ASEs are fine though.

Look like a little copper spot

Sulfide oxidation. My condolences.

Could just be tarnishing

Thanks for all replies

managed to get a better picture using a magnifying glass, looks like a zit with a definite centre point with reddish surround!

doesn't worry me what it is, just curious as not seen before on silver coins

I think so too. These spots are removed immediately with anti tarnish liquids. Not applicable to a slabbed one though...

Yep red spot exists on silver I was shocked as well when I saw it on one of my maple leaf coins I knew about the red on gold but not silver.

My 1/4 Oz QB Griffin has developed a red spot which I noticed the other day. I'm sure it wasn't there before Christmas when I checked it. It's annoying as it appeared to be flawless before that. 

Never noticed red spots on any silver though, just the usual milk marks.
