Would you keep a beautiful, modern proof coin with large milk spots

Bear · February 25, 2008 7:52AM

Or would you unload it for what

ever you could get for it?

PerryHall · February 25, 2008 7:54AM

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...

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

Yes. Respectfully, John Curlis

mach19 · February 25, 2008 8:00AM

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

Bear · February 25, 2008 8:02AM

It could be an ASE.

mach19 · February 25, 2008 8:05AM

<< It could be an ASE. >>

Could it also be a Revese Proof?

Bear · February 25, 2008 8:05AM

YES!

mach19 · February 25, 2008 8:07AM

Is it raw or slabbed?

SpaceMonkey · February 25, 2008 8:08AM

remember.... beauty is only skin deep....

(whatever the hell that means)

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

Exactly what I thought...

jessewvu · February 25, 2008 8:12AM

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.

Good ol' Molly Melenoma. What a gal!

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

mach19 · February 25, 2008 8:14AM

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.

Bear · February 25, 2008 8:15AM

IT would be raw, otherwise

I would apply for the PCGS

Guarantee. I am not as stupid

as I look you know.

That thought never crossed my mind my friend

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 donuts

pontiacinf · February 25, 2008 8:23AM

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 someone

Bear · February 25, 2008 8:24AM

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.

LostSisler · February 25, 2008 8:27AM

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

(I highly doubt this scenario but, you never know)

57loaded · February 25, 2008 8:27AM

only if she were lactating

They make a cream for that now

ProofRainbowRoosevelt · February 25, 2008 8:48AM

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.

BECOKA · February 25, 2008 8:51AM

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.

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

<< Would you keep a beautiful, modern proof coin with large milk spots? >>

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

I thought my poem told a good story until I read " Molly Melenoma"

Would you keep a beautiful, modern proof coin with large milk spots
