Re: Statehood Quarters...Toning Observed!
Here's a thought. The silver proof version of these quarters have a problem with hazing, even in slabbed holders. And look at the silver eagles with their ugly milk spots. Many attribute the milk spots to improper washing at the mint. I personally won't buy any more slabbed eagles because of this. I have stored these in… -
Re: WOW! ASE's took a beating!
<< <i>Got Milk? >> LMAO. Indeed sir. Have they ever figured out what causes those darned milk spots? I haven't noticed any on my own coins, but have heard and seen plenty of horror stories. My guess is that it's silver oxidation caused by a chemical in the polymer that encases them? Then again, I'm no chemist.. -
Re: O.K. I purchased a vacuum sealer...
<<That is nice, but how in the world do you expect battle creek toning on these after going through all of that? >> I'm going for the white, spot free look, didn't want to risk leaving them in the OGP. Say no to "milk". Beside, I don't have much luck with toning, unless you consider a milked coin attractive. Scott -
Re: 2007 w ase ...milk from the mint....
Sorry to see more milked ASE's. I've been sealing mine in Food Saver bags for 6 plus years, no spots, hazing, or milking. ASE's don't get along with the environment. I have ASE's that have been sealed for 5 years, still fresh, like when I received them. -
Re: What our coins used to buy.
Here is a listing from the 1870's Old West (BTW, those darn catpchas are back along with the Error 113) ERROR: One of the values in the url has not passed validation.

Re: Would you keep this Frosty Franklin or cash out now that silver is over $100.00 per ounce?
As a cameo, it is a $90-$100 coin without the milk spot. I’d probably wait until melt value hit around $75-$80 for it. I agree with you it warrants a CAM grade despite the label. Now if it was an unfrosted PF67, it would be a different story. The melt calculator had it at $47 earlier and the last PF67 at auction sold for… -

Re: Are raw proof Franklins worth more than melt?
For the proof Franklins minted during 1950 - 1955, yes. For 1956-1959, maybe. For 1960-1963 not likely. My above answers presume that these coins are run of the mill coins lacking attributes that make them stand out (i.e., beautiful toning, an in demand variety, and/or CAM/DCAM). Of course if the spot price of silver… -
Re: Okay, maybe I am wrong, NGC only kind of sucks!
<< <i>On silver eagles does NGC pop out more 70's, the answer is yes but they grade a ton more coins. Now if you are strictly an ASE fan and collect them for just the pure pleasure of looking at them then that is great. If you buy all these ASE's as an investment and hunt down those 70's, Youll see in the future you made a…
