This is a coin I bought 1988 Sae PCGS MS69
There are alot of spots on the OBV that look like the metal is missing and there is one spot that is a carbon spot
I guess it is safe to say Buying the slab is not allways the way to go
Yes I will be sending the coin back

    Could have turned in the holder...

    SAEs are often graded in bulk orders. It is real easy for one to slip through, or to have developed a spot after it has been slabbed.

    Many of the coins are also graded & slabbed when the spots are on them - plainly visible. It is not that they are slipping through - they are acceptable.

    The white spots on silver eagles are from striking while the planchet was still wet.

    PCGS does not deduct for white spots on SAEs, I too own an MS69 with white spots like that on it like your coin (it would be nice if the PCGS grading rules were listed on this site).

    Steve, unless they have changed course, they do deduct for white spots! Why do you think the 94 and 96 are hard to get in 69?

    How about an MS-69 SAE that has obvious dip residue on the reverse?!?!?!?

    I have one that I am thinking of sending in for a review....

    It probably turned in the holder like this one; I don't think PCGS would have slabbed this 69 as it is now; I might send it back in one day to get it corrected but it's probably easier to just buy a new one:
