Grey spots on Sovereign, opinions please....

Hi all, 

In the process of working out which coins to grade and I purchased a 2018 sovereign recently and it has this grey spot near the ear, I have noticed this on another sovereign I have and have seen similar things on others always on the foster areas.

My questions are what causes this? and is it something conservation fixes? 
 

Thanks everyone 😀

Probably a tiny bit of ash from the cigarette smoked by the quality control operative at the royal mint. Natch.

I have had a v tough day at work and that comment made me genuinely laugh out loud. Thank you

Any ideas on this guys and if it's something that would be removed?

I imagine it would pull the grade down.

Cheers

I don't know if NCS conservation would remove these spots, I doubt it.

Numi might know.

I think it soo small it probably wouldn't get noticed in the grading process, there are lots of 70 grade coins out there with imperfections far worse than this little blemish...
