Interesting news. The very long and often buy investment coins made of gold. I think that this "duck". This "marriage" in the issuance of coins can not be by definition.
If I'm not mistaken International Reserve payment system - is the brainchild of Herman Sterligov, very strange fellow, who himself coined gold coins and use them in their village. This is most likely an internal problem MRRS not related to the quality produced by Mint "Saint George".

10 years ago collecting Russian, modern gold coins in 900, and 999.
Coins dating from about 1980 (Olympics) and to this day.
In my opinion, not less than 3-5%of such coins in the market have the brown spots.
In the details I did not go, in my opinion, this is a reaction with air is not washed off before the end of reagents, drugs used in the minting /polishing.
But not a fact.
These spots are not displayed by ordinary solvents such as turpentine, acetone, alcohol, ammonia, etc.
They appear in two or three special lotion cleaner rollers in copiers. We must be careful with that thing on her plastic-read flow through 2-3 minutes. Gold does not react to it.
These coins have been on the market a little cheaper, minus 10 - 15%that I am unspeakably glad :D

Only idiots can sell at the market a gold coin to 25 rubles, and the idiots in a double, to buy such coins (knowing its circulation) in the markets, through Inet etc.

Over many years of training numismatics, I have not seen a single idiot who would be "on hand", the market bought a coin, worth tens of thousands of green ...

 In the current modern technologies, China blocked the whole world "rarity" coins of all time ... and "heavy" Russia is no exception .. The entire set of coins of 18 th century and rare 19 ... we can say that this coin is of Chinese origin ... In the 90 - some Girenko from Kherson did fake Petrovsko-Ekaterinovskiy time ... But only difference is that Girenko cut stamps and coins minted in compliance with the technology of the era we and Chinese use the method of casting davleiem or powder metallurgy, but what these methods are not perfect and if certain skills are determined visually.
