ever you could get for it?

    How can it be both beautiful and have large milk spots at the same time? I'd sell it.

    I once knew a girl with a mole on her cheek... image
    She sure was purdy, but she looked like a freak
    Underneath this blemish, was a most beautiful gal
    I could never really kiss her but what a great pen pal image

    Yes. Respectfully, John Curlis

    I guess it would depend on what kind of coin it was. Are we talking ASE?

    It could be an ASE.

    Could it also be a Revese Proof?

    Is it raw or slabbed?

    Nope. I had a few nice 20th Ann Silver eagles get milk spots. I shipped them to PCGS. The ones that they didn't downgrade went off to eBay. Didn't think twice about it.

    YEs... at this point I would... not sure what I would do with it.... perhaps use it to experiment on. I think we will soon know what causes milkspots... and that could possibly lead to a cure... maybe, maybe not. Stay tuned. Cheers, RickO

    I guess what i am trying to get to is, if you purchased the set from the mint hold on to it. If you purchased this second hand ( depending on the price ) Dump it. Does this make sense? @ 33.33 for each coin in the set, I would hold on to it.image

    IT would be raw, otherwise

    I would apply for the PCGS

    Guarantee. I am not as stupid

    as I look you know.image

    That thought never crossed my mind my friend image There may be a cure for the spot's. Who knows ? I,m SURE you will make the right choice. P.S. I will offer a dozen jelly donutsimage

    milk spots would not preclude it from being considerd IMHO "as struck" so yeah I would keep it, and yes I would buy one at a discount from someoneimage

    I can't stand two things in life.

    a piece of machinery that does

    not run smoothly and a coin that

    is not beautiful without detracting

    flaws in my collection. Of course, there

    are other things that irritate me...like a rash.image

    Anyone ever consider that these "Milk-spotted" coins may become collectible one day?
    hehehe
    Think about that for a minute, lol.

    I bought a 1962 PF 69DC Roosevelt a few years back. It had monster cameo contrast, a beautiful coin. I sent it back because the reverse had a couple milk spots, the only flaw. To this day I regret sending it back. I doubt I'll find another one like it.
  • BECOKABECOKA Posts: 16,961 ✭✭✭
    For me if it is slabbed, I get PCGS to de-slab it, send it back with a check and into the bullion pile it goes. If it's not slabbed then it must be bullion and it does not matter. image

    I pretty much stopped getting these as collector items because of this issue. Anything new will be in the strictly bullion category.

    No, because it would bother me and since it is a beautiful, modern proof, there would be others out there to satisfy my needs.
