Re: This 62 DDO DCAM Franky is ready for Sarasota
From the pictures presented, I'm not seeing where the dipping is especially needed.... I see what might be a slight bit of toning or haze around 6 o'clock on the obverse, and perhaps a few small milkspots?? I'm curious about what you guys are seeing that indicates it needs a bath (and heck yes, let the pros do it!!) -
Re: Baltimore report. Yes... another
<< <i>Coins with PVC can be slabbed, if the service believes it can be removed without hurting the coin. >> I think this guy was saying that the holders caused the PVC spots. I have a hard time believing that. There would be a whole lot of unhappy customers by now if the slabs had a PVC or a reaction with the coins.… -

Re: SAE's and philosophical dilemma
Thanks for all the good input, it looks like replacement is the only option and I will surely upgrade my holder/album and locate into a less toxic environment. I know people call the white growth "milkspots" but it is a very aggressive process and milk spots just sounds way too benign. Thanks again, your advice is very… -
Re: VISITED THE LOCAL COIN SHOP TODAY...
I have this coin shop near me that seems to have alot of totally overgraded slabbed coins. NGC Washingtons slabbed 66 that you can see scratches and milkspots etc...What IS the deal with these coins. He must have bought them at a grade or two lower and thinks he,ll sell them as stated? What crap. -
Dessicant(sp) where to get.
Can someone please link my to a website that sells this? I need to put some in my safe. Some of my recently graded SAE's are starting to MilkSpot in the PCGS Holder. I wonder if this is reaction with the plastic in the PCGS slab or an improper planchet rinse at the mint. I have heard both stories from many people and not… -
Re: **UPDATE** Huckster at Work on EBay, Folks! You make the call!
Although I'm not supporting the seller at all in this I want to point out that the chip/ding on the reverse slab ridge below the right corner of the label makes it look like the same coin. Of course this picture could be a year old. He pulled them out of his damp basement safe, found milkspots and sold them. --Jerry -
Re: Let's dispel the myth: Registry Collectors/ upgrades...
TomB: Point taken! Some of the Olympic coinage is pretty bad no matter the grade. Gradewise though, on anything else (!) I'd like to see that PCGS MS68. RE: PCGS MS67 copper with carbon/ fingerprints/ milkspots- They're out there but thank goodness for PCGS's copper guarantee (NGC doesn't offer this). ((Remember TRUTH'S… -
Re: A Rather Nice 1964 Kennedy Accented Hair. Guess the Grade!
I'm with the 67 cam bunch. Nice find. Looks like a small stain between the F and D on the reverse, and what might be a light milkspot in the left obv field. (which these are notorious for). That, plus the few marks suggest 67, unless there are hairlines. With regard to the cam/dcam designation, silver devices usually get… -
Re: Best fire safe for around $500?
It is not recommended to store coins in a fireproof safe, as mentioned above. The material that makes it 'fireproof' will affect your coins and you will have AT coins I do store my coins in a regular safe (well, regular means no fireproofing)... 750 pounds empty. I keep many things in there... and a generous store of…
