Re: Slabbed coins method for identifying PVC
Usually, if you hold the coin at an angle under a bright light that will show up similar to milk spots. Basically put the light angled like you’re looking at a piece of currency, looking for folds (if that makes sense) -
Can acetone remove small light brown spots on silver?
We all know about and have seen the white colored milk spots on the silver eagles. I bought some rolls of uncirculated silver Roosevelt Dimes that when opened, all have small "light brown" colored spots in a few places. Most are light in colored, and look similar to the white colored milk spots on the silver eagles, with… -
Re: Will PCGS clean/preserve coins upon request?
Will PCGS clean/preserve coins upon request? No, of course not. I hear they try to remove milk spots off of ASE's when they are submitted for spot review If it turns in the holder, they are having to pay out on the guarantee. There is no perfect solution to "remove" milk spots as I understand it. What do they do in that… -

Edited to add: Clickbait or not, it doesn't matter. If we really want… -

Re: Guess the grade of this PCGS graded 1964 proof Kennedy.
<< <i>Are these something more insidious than the usual "milk spots" that people talk about? >> Nope. In fact, this is a classic example of the milk spots that are frequently discussed. The 1964 proof Kennedys have a real problem with them. Unless one does a quick surface stabilization dip right after pulling one from a… -
Re: New EBay purchase.
Well......................................., I received the coin today and am underwhelmed (there is no Santa Claus in the hobby of kings for me today). Maywood was correct (as he frequently is) when he said the photo of the coin is juiced. It is juiced to overstate the degree of frost. The devices are frosted, with the…
