      Plus with slabbed SEs you get the added excitement of not knowing what they will look like in a few years. :p Is it an immortal beauty or is it a ticking time bomb? :o Got milk (spots)? Only time will tell. ;)

      I get the OP's point. Just picked up a couple of holdered 2006 Proof SAE's at auction and both have a ton of milk spots. Need to start looking better before I enter bids.

      << <i>Hmmm. $25 on a ChumLee T-shirt? Or another ASE? Tough call... >> Mustard stains wash off of a silver eagle and milk spots won't show up on a T-shirt. Tough call is right.

      Just tell me it wasn't a silver eagle with milk spots.... The strangest packaging I've had is cut up cereal boxes for protection. If I got the package you did I would boil the coin....

      I have not heard of any yet, and I peruse the U.S. coin forum daily..... However, milk spots usually take a while to manifest. I recommend an acetone bath prior to storage. Cheers, RickO

      the BSA I kept with the small strike through already had a large milk spot developing on it when it arrived. It is much better developed and cloudier now. I consider it the coin's other mint error.

      Thanks a ton Chris! That Sac should be much better than the ones the bank give me covered in milk spots. This is actually my first slabbed coin that isn't a sample slab! Thanks again!

      Sad but true. I just replaced the 04 PR70 because it had milk spots. First I've even seen on a proof and a 70 no less. That one gets sent back to Ron I think.
