Re: 2015 Coin & Chronicles Set – Harry S. Truman (AX1)
2 dog reverse proofs that weren't worth the mint packaging them and selling them I have 2 70s and a 69 bait going into pcgs I'm not sure how PCGS will handle the "as struck nature" of the medals I'm sending in. They all seem to have some disturbance in the matte appearance in the same place on the reverse. 1 remaining… -
Re: MS versus Proof Grading
Then there’s the factoid that proofs get milk spots and MS get spotty blotchy different look stain like spots. Not saying proofs don’t get some strange spots but MS doesn’t seem to have milk spots. I think an example of mirrored fields versus uncirculated surfaces. 😁 Just up late, thinking about this thread 🥱 -

<< <i>I'm finding the ASE to be a very interesting series and am not at all bothered by the number of special issue sets or the milk spots. If milk spots are a worry, just buy encapsulated 70's so that you have a spot guarantee. >> Except that PCGS no longer offers a spot guarantee. Thread. -
Re: How many coins have you purchased slabbed, only to have them "turn" in the holder later?
<< <i>Dippy-ee-de-du-da! That's why we have these problems. >> The vast majority of milk spots that emerge on 1950 to 1964 proof coins are because they weren't dipped to stabilize the surfaces and remove contaminants that can later materialize as milk spots.

Re: 2017 Silver Liberty Medal Set spotting
@dmwest Blurry, but looks like milk spots. Our host’s policy: https://www.pcgs.com/Silver-Coins-Spot-Policy/ An older article on the spots: http://news.coinupdate.com/milk-spots-on-modern-silver-coins-how-big-of-an-issue/ Also, doing a forum search will bring up several threads on the issue. -
Re: "HAZING & MILKSPOTS" .... It's amazing how people still don't understand this !!!
I think it partly depends on what spotting you include under the term "milk spots". Not all toning or hazing is necessarily the kind of "milk spot" that have typically been ascribed to contemporary 0.999 fine bullion coins. It is just odd that Harlequin makes such a completely definitive statement - by quoting himself! -… -

Re: March Of Dimes set.. PCGS,NGC 69s ,lower PCGS 70s $335 - $406
<< <i>I am confused. When has the 69 badge with moderns been expected to remain double what the raw version costs? I have witnessed the history being that 69's are typically a break even point, at best. With costs, sometimes the 70's, too.

Re: Not a big deal but, I still love finding nice Cam/ Dcams in sealed sets......
What the hell are you clowns looking at, there is frost missing 11 o`clock just above the three, missing frost just above the three at 12 oclock, the coin is covered in milk spots obverse with a few more reverse, not to mention the coin is covered in haze not a good sign for a DCAM, or even Cam at that point. The left side…
