Silver Eagle Reverse Proof Grades

segojasegoja Posts: 6,112 ✭✭✭✭
Given the thread on prevalent milk spots on the Reverse Proof Silver Eagles, will PCGS decide not to grade them PF70 any more?

How many folks are getting PF70 on their Reverse proof Silver Eagles???

I was a little disappointed with my grades, but given the spotting issue, several 70's and the balance 69's, I am feeling pretty good.

No MS69's though on the unc versions. All MS68.

no 70's on the Regular Proofs, just 69's and one 68.

    Just check some of the threads here and some offerings on EBAY and you will see 70's are not as rare as you suggest.............Rick

    I did a search of the SILVER Reverse Proofs on E-Bya in PCGS hodlers, I found none.

    Can you point me to some.

    Thanks!

    Last time i checked pop report, i believe MS70 is gonna be the elusive one.

    The MS70 is non-existant by policy at PCGS--they won't certify one until they are convinced milk spots are history so the 69 is the Top MS coin of the set (as I posted earlier). However, I've only seen one thread with a reverse proof coin with a milk spot so I think that may be an isolated occurance.

    I haven't seen a PCGS rev proof in 70 for sale either. If someone sees one please let me know. I know where most of the pop of 6 reside and none that I know of are currently being advertised for sale. However, I will say that althought my kids aren't for sale, I have nothing else that wouldn't move for a price.

    Mine came back graded 68 and my gold PR reverse came back 70. They must be using the dies longer with the Silver Eagle Reverse.

    How come the US Mint has this Milk Spot problem? Can anyone post an example of this happening on a Brittania, Kangaroo, Panda, Maple leaf, etc? If you can find an example I'd like to see it.

    If not, knowing the problems SAE's have had with milk spots, why hasn't the Mint looked into how other mint's produce their silver bullion coins so that this problem is either reduced or hopefully eliminated. image

    Nice 69 but still no 70s for sale.

    I agree with Kid this time, NGC gives out perhaps an order of magnitude more 70's than PCGS. But I bet they at least look at them.
