.........pcgs will ever dip any coins in acetone (or something better) prior to slabbing to minimize future milk spotting or carbon spotting? or will they just continue to exchange or whatever, to make it right when a complaint surfaces with these problems?

    No, I don't think they will automatically as it would create too much of a liability issue.

    I do know that they will dip a coin to remove problems, but only if they ask you. You cannot ask them. They've dipped a proof Kennedy half for me when it was really needed. I did not ask them, they asked me.

    Can't imagine them going through the effort......so I'd say no, don't think so.

    i'm surprised this didn't get going right away. In answer to your question, absolutely not. Like has been said, this would create a huge liability issue.

    However, I was asked if I could give them permission to "dip" a 1972 DD Cent I had submitted. Before PCGS would grade all of the 1972 DD errors, I was making a complete ANACS set. I bought a 1972 Die #1 in a PCGS holder and sent it to ANACS to cross. ANACS returned it as Cleaned. So I sent the coin and ANACS paperwork to PCGS and got a phone call asking if they could dip the coin to see if that would correct the "problem". Well, it did not and the coin was bought back by PCGS.

    If I were PCGS I wouldn't treat the coins with any type of solution. I wouldn't guarantee against milk spots either.

    just as long as they make it right if it develops spots or something to satisfy me, i don't think i am asking too much.

    Actually, I think you are asking to much. I don't see why PCGS should be responsible for chemical reactions that make take many years to appear.

    I recently submitted a 2000 Millenium Silver Eagle and asked but they said no.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
