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.

Re: Something new on Ebay OR did I miss something
If you include milk spots on PR70DCAM as "damage" very often and not seen in photos I consider it damaged -
Re: Current Turnaround Time
How do they store coins while waiting to be graded? I had two separate submissions for ASE proofs that were from the same us mint box and received at pcgs on the same day. One order was graded within about 3 weeks and half graded 70 and no milk spots developed after grading. The other order took about a month and a half to… -
Re: How to prevent spots on modern proof coins?
From my understanding, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, milk spots happen during the minting process. It's a result of a solution used on the coins during the annealing process. From what I have read on the subject, the milk spots are there from the mint and don't form on the coins after the fact. I'm an avid… -
Re: EBay pick, a 1959 proof half.
One consideration is that clear ammonia bath with liberal water irrigation afterwards may be able to pull a bit of the milky-looking spots.

Re: Do you clean your bullion?
Sometimes, if it is something that I intend to keep (rarely) and if it is spotted. I also recommend using Tarn-X on all Silver Eagles that have a higher value due to the date and/or condition. I believe that will prevent future "milk spotting" (but it won't cure milk spots that have already formed - nothing will). -
Re: Question about silver eagle rolls
I tend to agree on mega popular NCLT like these, although I have seen milk spots on 70s from other countries like Koalas and Maple Leafs. But never seen milky ASE 70s. -
Re: How's the ASE in Your Pocket?
<< <i>I have not started mine yet but I have a nice milk spotted one all ready to go. >> I've been thinking the same thing about my milk spotted 20th ASE rev. proof. Not a lot of other uses for it I can figure out. Wondering if I can get enough wear on it that the milk spots will go away?
