    I have a raw 20th set and NGC 69 20th set. Niether has developed any spots.

  • So why doesn't this problem happen with any of the silver commems? I've not had any problems with this myself...

    No idea of a answer to the problem but none of my slabbed or raw Eagles have ever developed spots here in the San Diego area.

    I have a modern silver commem registry set and there ain't a milkspot on the lot. Some have some toning/tarnish spots, but nothing like the SAE reverse proof. It was fine for the majority of the last year and then poof! Maybe I did not look at the coin enough to notice or did not examine the reverse regularly. Anyway, it was quite a shock last night when I did see it.

    maybe because the commemoratives are 90% and not 99% Ag

    i think it might be a wide temp variance w/ high humidity. maybe these are better kept in the freezer, next to the ice cream j/k

    have had some air-tite ASE since 94 here on California coast area and no problems and no special treatment.

    the stuff at the bank has dessicant.

    I returned all ten of of my 20th ASE sets to the mint because of spots on the reverse proofs. I ones I received in exchange looked much better and none of the five I opened have developed any spots. I have five sets in an unopened box from the mint and wonder what they look like.

    This picture was taken the day I received coins from the mint and it is one of the worst, but all the RPs had spotting to some degree.

  • Mine going to Ebay right now. I only got 1 set so what ever I can get is profit. I will not be a future buyer of ASE until the mint gets things fixed

    The day I received my ASE sets, all ten went into Food Saver vacuum sealed bags.

    I have used this system for all my ASE's for years, no milking, spotting, etc...

    <<Are the PCGS slabs sealed from the elements??????? >>

    To the best of my knowledge, all slabs are subject to the elements.

    This would add considerable cost, making them airtite.

    morgansforever, that looks like a great idea, question? do the food saver bags have pvc in them or would that make a difference do you think?
    on another note...........after reading this post the other nite i called a dealer friend who has been bugging me about selling my sets,and also the fact that i think these have peaked for the time being,i sold him my (24) ngc 69 sets @550.00 each and (3) ngc 70 sets @ 1800.00 each today, i'm a happy camperimage

    Please respond to my post on the bottom of page #1 of this thread... I dont think PCGS downgrades a coin because of milk spots???

    If PCGS will not downgrade a coin for milk spots, then sending in your spotted coins will be a waste... they'll just send 'em back and say the grade has NOT changed.

    At least that 's the way it was about 7 years ago when I was collecting and slabbing silver proof washingtons... I had many high grade proofs with spots... and no problem with the grading.

    thanks, Alan

    Same here. So far, so good.

    They will allow a small spot or two on a PR69/MS69. Not huge ones and many of them.
    MS68/PR68 will be allowed a bit more. None should be allowed on a PR70 (that's why they won't slab a MS70 coin....MS coins are more subject to them).

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
