silver eagle white spots

i used coin gloves and opened up 2009 and 2009 silver eagle rolls and not many had spots i checked them few weeks later and small white spots developed...seems all silver eagles will develope them in time.

There is no defense against milk spots on ASE's.....they all need to be dipped!!!!!

Wow how long does one hold on to your all 70's 25th Anniversary ASE Firsgt Strike set before they develop white spots? That is a scary thought.

I posted this awhile ago too. I submitted them to PCGS guaranteed submission. Will post results when I get them back. My question is if ASE's develop spots after a certain time, is it still really considered a 70 grade?

No...they are no longer a 70. The only defense against milk spots (that I am aware of), is an acetone dip immediately upon receipt.

I think it would behoove PCGS to start offering a dipping service for these. The spotting issue is a major reason why I have no interest in these coins any longer. Would anyone here be willing to pay $10 or more per coin if PCGS would dip 70s in either acetone or EZ-est? They could simply add a D to the coin number to differentiate the conserved ones.

I would willingly pay a premium for this service! Heck at $10 a coin this service would be a money make for PCGS so hopefully someone is listening.

It didn't work for me. ASEs, Maples and even Philharmonics, they all got milk spots.
That's why I gave up on collecting silver...

I might. These things are so soft that a dip is stressful.

Question for the group: PCGS will guarantee these though, correct, if they are a PCGS 70 and develop spots? Seems like a very good reason to have nice silver graded.

PCGS has a guarantee that covers these for milk spots, does NGC?

Hum, I have received a couple ASE and ATB coins with white spots but all of the ones that didn't have white spots, never have developed white spot. I do live in a dry climate though and they are stored at a pretty much constant temperature.

Drats I am going to have to submit another 70 coin for guaranteed resubmission =

...you'll probably be ahead if you ask here.

if they are are just bullion..dip and maybe use a q-tip if it's that big an issue for you.

acetone alone may stop them from spotting at least that's been the case for me.

you can get @n@l and use food vacuum seal bags and store them like you'd do frozen meat, just not in the freezer of course.

silver that's slabbed goes in these bags, so call me @n@l then.
