Re: 2006w Silver eagles will be ---
<< <i>I guess I could carry my bologna sandwhich in a blue box.... I might stir controversy on the roof. >> Make sure your carton of milk is well sealed, you would not want to get Milk Spots on your Sandwich! -
I have a metal detecting outting planned next week! (Results addded)
I'll be hiking about 5 miles in to an older mill campsite from the late 1890s with my Ace 350 with 10x14" DD Excelerator and DetectorPro Pistol Probe. I took a whole day off of work, will be packin' a sandwhich and bringing my malamute. Should make for a fun day off work! Photos to come plus a report, probably on… -
Re: Will PCGS designate a Cheerios Cent on their slab???
<< <i>Milk spots would have been more appropriate, what this being a Cheeriios cent and all. >> Yeah, but adding a half cup of non-fat milk to cereal adds 40 calories. The water keeps the calorie count down and improves one's figure -
Re: Do you remember that can’t believe I’m paying this $$$ moment
Zoins, I did bundle all my silver proofs and Modern Proof Roosies, then sold them at Heritage in April, 2013. The change in heart was directly linked to that passed auction of the 1961 Franklin. But seconding the motion were two proof Roosies that developed milk spots in the holder. Milk spots crushed their value and was… -
Re: China's latest export boom: Fake gold coins
Originally posted by: BillJones Fake gold coins have been showing up in fake NGC and PCGS holders were quite a while. It makes sense that the Chinese would move into this area.

Re: Russ
I'll never forget Russ. He added a lot of fun to this site. In his early days here, few were able to post really nice coin images but Russ could take almost any old junk camera and post great images using it. I remember him and Airplanenut teaching everyone how to image coins. I also remember how Russ could spot a Kennedy… -
Re: Dipping 40% silver Ike?
Just curious since I did not catch this original thread. Did your hazing dip off? My experience has been that a lot of these 40% IKEs, especially the 1971-S's, actually have milk spotting and milk smears which will not dip off. -
2006 w ASE Unc without milk?
Do you think these will command a premium after they have been slabbed a while and still not developed milk spots? After one has been slabbed a year or so...are they probably not going to get them or is it still something that can strike at any time? -
Are ASEs the only ones that Got Milk?
I'm wondering why I don't hear about milk spots on other modern MS US Mint coins. Is there something special about how MS ASEs are created that's different than say the SF Old Mint MS and Franklin dollar commems? -
Re: 1959 Franklin Proof in PCGSDCAM. Anyone seen one?
I have seen several. I held the 69dcam in my hand and had the opportunity to buy it for less than $10k. But it didn't look 'right' to me - it had the contrast, but the frost had a greyish tint to it - the frost doesn't look like any other dcam Franklin I have seen - some believe this coin is not genuine. In fact, both…
