I have been getting rid of my Silver American Eagles partly due to lack of interest and the milk spotting issues and to fund my newest collecting habit of CBH's.I had sold a complete set of NGC MS-69's a couple weeks ago on E-bay and made very little after all the fees.Anyways I had 10 left that I wanted to get rid of,all NGC MS-69's(4-1993's,1-1994,1-1995,1-1996,1-1999,1-2005 and 1-2006)I calculated what I had paid for them and it was roughly $400 including the shipping fees.I searched E-bay completed auctions for each date and figured that I would probably only be able to sell them for about $350 before the fees came out so I went to my local coin shop hoping to trade for a 1/4 oz. Platinum Eagle($500) however he was out of them and I eventually walked out with 4-10th oz. Gold Eagles(2-1998's and 2-2000)Hopefully gold will keep going up and I can eventually make a small profit of at least break even and I don't have to worry about milkspots anymore.

I think you did well but spotting is still a problem. Not the ugly white milk spots but still I have several gold peices that develop toning that is almost orange. I actually think it looks sweet but not everyone would agree. Keep them in Intercept Shield boxes and they do much better.
