20th anniversary silver eagles with spots?????

lotto1717

PCGS has offered me $1000 each for my 20th Ann Reverse Proof coins and $145 for my MS Ann coin . Or I can take $800 for each of the 20th Ann Reverse Proof and $75 for my MS Ann coin and receive the coins back. Coins will be a PF67,PF68 on reverses and MS68 on the MS coin....

What should I do?

I paid $800 for the reverses and$125 for the MS coin last year.

Was this for PR70 on the reverse proof and MS69 on the Unc? And were they F.S.?

Yes both reverses were 70's and the ms was 69

NO not FS

I thought Ron said you could dip the Proofs and fix the milk spots. Why can't PCGS?

Well I bought 5 Reverse coins and keep them all together and the other 3 are fine with no spots. I figured they could remove the spots but I guess I'll take the money on these three.

Do silver eagles with spots trade in the aftermarket? I'm curious as to how much they are considered to be worth.

Griv

Me too. Would you like one?

I recently recieved my PR70DC back from PCGSafter they "fixed" it.
It only took a month for the same spots to reappear.

Don't think so. Reverse proofs in PCGS 68 (no spots) appear to be going for less than $200, I'm not sure how much the coins with spots would be worth.

Actually when they remove the spots it will be a 70 again. But it's all about whether they come back. jrscoins says they do.

They are making you a generous offer. The non F.S 70 rev. proof is selling for about $800-$950 & the MS for less than $100 on eBay.

sometimes

if the spots are on mirrors or mirror devices then it has a chance.

pcgs has fixed some of mine...some being the key word.

Milk spots are hard to "fix" as they tend to be fused into the metal. You may get rid of some of the visible effects of the material with a dip, but you're not fixing the core problem...

You have others you have said.
I would take the money. You made a profit and still have the others anyway.

Nothing known will remove milk spots without rubbing.
