I would like to know Ralph’s contact info. I too have received several eBay coins with spots.

“I also listed a website address of a Chinese company offering gold-plated tungsten products that showed a photograph of a small gold bar on the home page of its internet site.” Do you mean by Chinatungsten Online ? I have heard about this company , they are doing a broad business and have a good reputation worldwide. We once cooperated with it. They are professional manufacturer of tungsten products and they are doing their business legally .You cannot blame this company simply because they produce gold-plated tungsten bars, these are just artifacts for decorations and souvenir. But I really appreciate your “I try to be careful to listen only to those sources that have developed a track record of reliability”!

Although I don’t have a technical explanation to offer, I have seen this on a few First Spouse coins that I bought directly from the US Mint.

I have 2 first spouse proof coins that have red dots in the metal. One is very small and the other is larger with a center that is darker. both came from E Bay, can you tell me if its an impurity in the metal or is it of more significance?
