Re: What do you suggest I do with the spots on these proofs?
When you dip a coin to remove the milk spots, you also remove the toning. Also sometimes if the milk spots are bad, you can strip the luster trying to remove the spots. Be careful. Steve -
Re: Acetone rinse
"I'm really just TTTing this, but it was my understanding that acetone wouldn't affect toning spots/milk spots or haze. These problems would require a commercial dip, yes??" No, milk spots are forever, learn to like them. -

Re: An example of a dog in a pop top PCGS holder.
I would love to know a little more about the scientific life of a milk spot. The rinse that caused the milk spot to occur happened in 1964; 42 years ago.

Re: White spots on MS Silver Eagles
It has to effect grade. Once eye appeal diminishes it will effect grade. Carbon spots which are probably mint related on Lincolns does effect grade in a negative way.

Re: Pulled out the 2006 SAE Reverse Proof-Got sick
Please respond to my post on the bottom of page #1 of this thread... I dont think PCGS downgrades a coin because of milk spots???
