Re: Found
I found the 2012 2-coin proof and reverse proof eagle set in a box a few months ago. I thought I had sold it, but there it was! After 5 years, I open it and no milk spots or tarnish, just as perfect as the day I got them. I was pleasantly surprised. -
Re: Gold Kennedy minted to demand (Now 75,000 Limit) - Where does it go from here ?
I passed on the Kennedy Gold and will pass on the silver set also. I like to collect perfect things. Meaning no lines, chips, streaks or other ugly distracting blemishes, and especially no Milk Spots. I will wait until the mint improves production before I will make another purchase. -
Re: Some MORE musings from the PCGS Grading Contest - Coins 7 thru 13, include's Illini's Grades too
<< <i>This group was much tougher to me. I'm still aghast at 64 CAM on the Frankie. Not my series either, but I cannot fathom how that coin didn't grade higher -- perhaps something not visible in the photos? >> Is that a milk spot in the right obverse field? If so it would account for the grade. -
Re: Black Spots on Cent Business Strike Coinage 2000+
That issue was discussed here on several threads some years ago. I never did see a conclusion or identification of the black material. Much like milk spots on ASE's....just seems to be a problem that will not have an answer....although I feel certain the mint likely knows. Cheers, RickO -
Re: What makes this an End Roll Toner?
<< <i> << <i>Beyond hearsay... More toning progression where the lines of paper would have sat directly against the coin, toned reeding, and a fairly non-toned obverse. >> Ahh. Again, not my picture but what about this one? >> Maybe the milk spots are from steroids. LOLOLOLOL -
Re: PCGS Warranty Loss Questions
PCGS just laid off 15, including graders. Their stock price is down almost 80% from the 52 week high. I would think that a lot of the warranty stuff was the whole bullion grading fiasco in which it was promoted as a good idea, and then the milk spots reared their ugly heads. -
Re: The UHR 2009 Double Eagle even comes with a book!
...because then you can't pay to have your precious mounted in a "First Strike" slab...even though it might not have been struck anywhere near first...and it may also get milk spots and become worth less as a result of contamination during slabbing... Makes complete sense, no? -
Re: NEW Ex-Benson Barber 10c PCGS PR63 COLOR - Opinions Sought
I prefer the 1892. I think that you will find that it is a bit cloudy, going by the photo, but it still has a lot of eye appeal for the PR-63 grade. Usually they are dipped out. The milk spots on the 1906 kind of turn me off, but there are a lot of collectors who prefer the blue color. -
Re: Does this look like PVC ??
I have salvaged a lot of coins with PVC, so I have quite a bit of experience with coins contaminated with it. This is not the pattern PVC takes, so I do not believe it is PVC. Looks to me like his color is off a bit, and they look more like milk spots to me. -
Re: The check has arrived, but where's Anna?
This is why PCGS is #1 I agree 100% (really wanted an excuse to say that once) Anyone think NGC would have made right like this? Every time I see a NGC proof 70 with milk spots on the home shopping channel, I wonder the same thing
