How much does a minor blemish detract from a lunar's value?

[wrcmad]

Just curious as to opinions...

I have a 2 oz lunar with a very minor blemish near the rim of the reverse. It is not a nick or scratch, but is difficult to determine what it is (looks like a milk spot). Otherwise the coin is mint.

Do small imperfections like this detract from the value or buy/sell price, or make no difference?

See pic below at around 2 o'clock.

Milk spot? Not a finger print ?

Not sure. It could be.
If it is a finger print, it is not well defined, and quite small for a finger print.
It has me stumped. :/

Hard to see from the photo.
See it with the micro to check if milk spot or not.

If milk spot, then my understanding that it will surely effect the future value and annonyance on the eyes of the beholder.

I read from the forum once that toning can be fixed but not milk spot.

sometimes you can fix milkspot too) if I had that 2oz ox wouldn't worry about itstill a hard to find coin

Not easy to tell from the photo, but I've come across some 2oz dragons with a similar-looking white mark (also near the rim of the coin). The dealer then showed me another 3 or 4 dragons (presumably from the same roll) and they had the same mark in exactly the same part of the coin. Perhaps these marks come from the minting process?
