Re: Acetone question
<< <i>cleaning coins with the cyanide Not a good idea - CN will etch gold and is used in Au plating baths. I guess Saltus learned his lesson. >> It wouldn't remove milk spots from silver eagles, but extended soaking left the coin with a permanent light tan color. -
Re: What is the best way to store SAE's?
It's a pain but it's really the only way to make sure that no additional air contaminants interact with the rinse the mint uses on these. Otherwise Milk Spots are a potential huge problem. Main reason I have stopped collecting these and started selling anything I paid more than bullion pricing for. -
Re: Who has the Deepest Pockets, and Tightest Lips?
Mr Platinum has the pockets, but he likes to show off too much. Speaking of whom, has anyone heard anything from triplexotica lately? I haven't seen anything from him on here since his fiasco with the milk spotted silver bullion coins. -

Re: Looking for direction on collecting early American coins

If your goal is to make money in the short to medium term, pick something else. I’ve held coins for 50 years and could get 4 to 6 times what I paid, but if you look at… -
James Spence authentication question
Do people in the industry pay the same money for Spence items as opposed to PSA/DNA? Is it close? I have a game-used, 1955 Yankees team ball with Mantle on the sweet spot with Spence certification. Since I am only 30 miles away from Parsippany and I had some non-sports autographs to process, I went there. Any help is… -
Re: Is there a popular coin/series you just don't get?
My series and varieties are far from popular so at least they are safe from this question. I now wonder why so many collect ASE's with all the milk spot issues. I now only get them as bullion and will not pay a premium for tougher dates because of this. -
Re: W SILVER EAGLES ARE TAKING OFF IN PRICE
I sold a 1st strike MS70 last week for $2195 that I got from the mint. I probably should have kept it but the old saying " a bird in the bush" comes to mind. I think you did great.....birds don't get milk spots....... -
