Re: 1921 Peace Dollar (VAM-1H) - Struck from Satin Proof Dies
<< <i><< I see that this is in an ANACS MS63 holder. Do you think it will cross PCGS? >> NickCap: In reply to your above quoted post, I am not planning to cross this coin, and like it fine in its existing older ANACS-63 Holder. Crypto79: With reference to your previous post: According to Dave Bowers & Wayne Miller (from… -
Re: Modern Coins 69 vs. 70
This is a study I did based on NGC reported populations. Effective June 28, 2007, PCGS began grading Mint State Silver American Eagles for the years 2006 and 2007 based on their condition at the time of grading, without regard to the probability of future spotting. In the past, PCGS was reluctant to grade any Silver Eagles… -
Re: What part of a coin collection would you part with first?
I agree I have ASEs from the 1990’s and none “milkspotted” (is that a verb?) / I don’t think they ‘form’ milkspots, rather, they express them after some time that were already there. Milk spots are formed from soap and other products used in the planchette cleaning that doesn’t get properly rinsed… these residues become… -
Re: 2019 American Eagle One Ounce Silver Enhanced Reverse Proof Coin (19XE) Currently unavailable
From Eric: LG: Finally, what is your advice for collectors who are worried about so-called “milk spots” forming in their eagles, especially coins like the 2019-S ERP that cost them big bucks? EJ: Silver Eagles tend to pick up “milk spots” on their surfaces that don’t come off and can ruin the look of a nice coin if it’s… -
Re: 2006 SAE's got problems
<< <i>"Just slab 'em and in a year or two those ugly bag marks will be all covered up by beautiful milk spots." "HUGE money for the MS70s!!!" Unless you are for some reason in love with this issue, I would find some other place to put my money. Milkspots can not be predicted and a significant percent of mine have them… -
Re: Silver eagles (1986- present)
<< <i> Interesting, my understanding is that the milk spots will NOT come off. >> And I am still waiting to hear if anyone has been successful at taking PCGS up on their grading guarantee on these and what wsa the outcome? << <i>I am going to stick with the PCGS 69 & up. This is a very nice looking coin. ( I might still… -
Re: Any Interest in the KING of ASE's ( 1995-W) ?
<< <i>Not with that milking around 7 O'clock that goes toward the center. With the milk spot issue I have lost interest in this series. I have a complete set minus the milk spots but it was difficult to find ones that did not develop the spots over time. >> that spotting is horrible... -
Re: 225th Anniversary Enhanced Uncirculated Coin Set (17XC) (SOLD OUT! )
* Milk spots only seen on silver coins. Agreed. * Milk spots NOT on NGC coins.....sounds like some folks agree with that. I "think" I have seen 1 NGC slabbed SAE with a milk spot. Not sure if I still have it or not, as it has been a handful of years. Common SAE (aren't they pretty much all ;) ) and I didn't slab it, so I… -
Re: The 25th Anniversary ASE Set Thread - Part II
<< <i>Thank you for the thoughtful responses. My only reason for grading these would be to better benefit my family when they go to sell these (after I'M departed ;-) ) My experience in selling coins, before I knew better, has left me a bit jaded, and I'd hate to see the same thing happen to my family. When there are huge… -
Re: 2006 RP sets
<< <i>First off I'd like to say my coin collecting desires have faded in recent years after 35+ years of on and off collecting. Due to my age now my views in life have changed significantly. A few years ago I sold most of my collection plus some savings money to payoff the house and save $350/month in interest. I did keep…
