grading question

Can a coin be graded MS69 if it has any tone in it or doesn't toning come into play? There are no bag marks or scratches that I can see on the coin.

    Toning yes, milk spots no.

  • ok thanks!! and Thanks for the Welcome. This might be a dumb question but how do the milk spots get there? As you can tell I'm fairly new to this.

    Welcome aboard.

    There are a few theories on the milk spots. Some people believe it is a problem in the minting process
    and some think that it is improper washing or rinsing afterward. Frequently, if one coin is prone to pro-
    blems of tarnish or spotting all of that date/ mint will be.
