Re: Another ebay seller with questionable practices...
I had a guy ask me if that was some time of milk spot on a Morgan in the corner of the coin. (I use huge images so that I don't have to deal with returns because of bad images.)

Re: My proof buffalo story
The second coin is superior. The central obverse is significantly stronger. Compare the hair knots and areas just above them. That isn't a lighting discrepancy; the PCGS is simply hammered better. The milk spots (or whatever) in the reverse fields of the former ICG piece also detract slightly to my eye. -
Re: PR69 - PR70, When to Submit?
When they don't have milk spots Yes....a PR70 is possible, even after years...I forget who did it, but a board member got a PR70 on a SAE '94 or '96 or something, somewhat recently. Tarnish will likely preclude a 70 grade (good question for Ron Guth) -

Re: Help with this 1879-S Morgan dollar
Well I tell ya right now the coin has not been whizzed. If it was then whom ever whizzed it was a surgeon because these lines stop right at the high points of the coin wit pinpoint accuracy. They do not cross the lettering, the portrait, the date, the feathers nada. As I said they run cris-cross under the high points. What… -

Re: Post a coin that you own that really bothers you...
I had two that milk spotted in their holders. :rage: I kept them a while out of laziness, but finally dumped them as they annoyed me every time I saw them. They would have been perfect for this thread. The collection is all cleaned out now! :D -
