Re: Ut-oh, I accidentally bought a half cent with some verdigris on it, what should I do?
PCGS no longer guarantees (and conserves for free) coins that develop environmental damage. They dropped that at least six years ago. I think the silver milk spotting uproar was the metaphorical straw. Lance. -
Re: Time for a dip :smile:
I.m going to check my ASE's and dip them in acetone, then check them in 20 years [or my heirs will {probably not} ] and let you know if that helped in preventing milk spots. :smile: -
Re: 1920 Archived film of RCM and 1940 Archived film of the Philly Mint..
Nothing is said about how the silver planchets were rinsed to remove the cream of tartar and then dried. Anybody want to bet that it is the cause of the milk spots found on Peace dollars and 1921 Morgans? -
Re: How long until just the Silver reverse proof is worth $500?
Wow. Amazing prices on modern stuff. I bought one set and stuck it away. Looked the other night at it and no milk spots..Yay! My reverse proof is at least 69, IMHO. -
Re: My New Coin Storage.....
As you look at the tool box, on the left side, on the table, is that rubber foam tray liner material? If it is, you do not want that near any of your slabbed coins. It reacts with PCGS plastic in a bad way. It will etch milk like spots into the plastic. That is my PSA for the day. I have pics of the damage that stuff… -

Re: The ANA: What a disgrace! Here's what YOUR ANA does for you.
It SHOULD be right on the spot!! Need I cite all the ones that always are? Come on guys. Who needs to work up a sweat walking over there? I worked up enough of one signing my coins over to Heritage yesterday. Not a mile or .75 miles away. Carrying coins? Forgrt it. Can't be heavy when you fly in. -
New return policy for the US Mint??
For the first time EVER, I had to return a product (2025 Proof Set) to the US Mint. One of the quarters had a milky spot. Got the replacement and turns out that the Kennedy Half has a significant smudge between the 2 and the 0 in the date area. Not something I could ever resell and worry that the spot may become worse with… -
Selling some silver
I got some 64 Kennedy Halves to unload as well as some 2009 Maples that are just an eye sore to me. The majority have acquired the typical "milk spots" which are typical for Maples. I dont like Maples with spots so I will be letting them go for competitive prices: 64 Kennedy Half Dollar roll- $117 shipped 40% Kennedy (16…
