Newbie help (dialuppers beware?)

After reading the recent milkspotting threads, I went to look at some of my slabbed silver eagles, and this caught my eye. The scan makes it look a little bluer than in hand, a small silver "O" just above the L in SILVER on the reverse. There are some small areas of milkspots elsewhere on the reverse that reflect in a similar fashion to light sources/angles, but those areas are much more "splotchy" in appearance. Any thoughts? Debris? Thanks for looking! - Mike

I have no idea... never saw that phenomena before. I trust the experts here will chime in with an answer. Cheers, RickO

Just FYI, bought this silver eagle in PCGS slab off ebay a few months ago, so I never saw it raw, but I do not think this was there the first couple times I looked at it. It has been stored with about 9 other slabbed eagles, none of the other slabbed eagles show this, and the milkspotting on this and other slabbed eagles has not changed to my eye.

Looks like a carpet fiber.

That sure is odd, couln't tell what that is. Just to give you a heads up, I have had excellent results storing ASE's

in vacuum sealed bags. Some have been sealed for 6 years, no milk, no spots.

I use the Food Saver brand. Good luck with your Eagle's.

I recently sent in 14 of my 18 20th Ann American Silver eagles for milk spot review PCGS ended up giving me money... Now I only have one complete 20th ann silver set

I hvae since taken the advise of morgansforever and vacume packed all of my coins.

To Morgans Forvever :

I have a Food Saver, but never thought to use it for coins. Do you give them a rinse prior to slabbing, as practiced by Russ (I think)? Also, are the Food Saver brand bags thought to be safe for coin storage? I guess I am eating food stored in them.
