Re: Ebay APMEX 10 maple leafs for $229
<< <i> Milk spotting appears on raised surfaces as well as smooth fields. Unless Canadian Mint has changed it planchet processing effort, doubt we will see a change in the spotting. Silver Maples are notorious with spotting. I saw about 40% in my last monster box. That said, I will not let spotting issue prevent me from… -
Re: PCGS Spot Review..
I don;t understand. Submitting a coin under the grade guarantee has ALWAYS required a specific fee simply because PCGS had to look at the coin and essentially "regraded" it. If it downgraded, that fee in addition to any differential grade funds was refunded to the submitter. Spot Review, on the other hand, never required a… -

WTB - Silver: 1) Got Milk Spots? (true milk spots and not tarnish (but can have tarnish, too)). If so, good. 2) 1oz Art Bar? 3) no Nudes, no Sexy, No Porn? 4) Got photos before the sale?

The topic of milk spots was brought up in the Q and A forum about a month ago. If they are in PCGS slabs.

Re: What's your biggest turnoff about a coin? How about a coin photo?
Yes, I get real tired of photo artists who make "pig's ear coins" look like "silk purses." That's why I don't buy much on-line, unless I know the dealer and have an iron clad return privilege. As for coins, chopped up surfaces, ugly toning, spots in the focal area of the design and milk spots are all be turn-offs. Also… -
Re: Guess the grade on this tough 51s mint Frankie....(grade and commentary posted)
As I told Lucy a day or so ago, I agree this is a nice 64FBL. Here are some additional comments: Where you see the black arrows, they are pointing to a hit in the field. PCGS hates these types of hits in the field on Franklins (Washington Quarters too) and they usually preclude a grade higher than 64. can also see a milk… -
