Re: Parsippany, NJ show this Sunday! Who is going?
I will be there. I have already sold 2 gold 1/4 oz eagle's via the bst already Anyone want a 1986-2010 ASE NGC MS69 date set? Some have milk spots including the 1996. Due to that I no longer want to collect ASE's. I feel sick after seeing the milk spots. It has taken the joy out of it. -

Re: Does PCGS cross MS70s?
Don't know but I would leave them the way the are. Just be thankful they don't have milk spots. I sent some in PCGS 69's 2006 W's to try to get 70's and 4 of the 6 have since developed milk spots. I believe because of added exposure to air in the grading process. Leave well enough alone for ASE's JMHO. -

Re: Light Milky White haze on 76 Silver Mint Set - Will it Dip Off?
If it's a filmy haze it will come off readily. But there are also white "milk spots" found on these coins similar to those that afflict Peace dollars. If you have those, you're probably out of luck and overdipping trying to remove them will result in a flat lifeless coin... with milk spots. I believe (like with the Peace… -
Anacs or Ngc for Silver Eagle MS70?
PCGS will not grade silver eagles MS70 because they could in time milk spot. I can accept that. But who is better for long term storage on coins at either NGC or ANACS. Does one holder hold up better over time. Does one have a milk spot (or lack of) advantage over the other? Do you have experience with either? -
Re: ASE SPOTS
This is very interesting since most SAE's require a stabilizing rinse prior to slabbing to minimize the amount of Milk Spots that form over the years. I wonder how many 20th Anniversary Sets, both First Strike and non-First Strike will get ruined because of Milk Spots due to the fact that we could not see them before… -

Re: Tulip Mania in the coin market
<< <i>do tulips get milk spots? >> No; but at the time, Tulips which were infected with the "tulip breaking virus" were even more desirable. Too bad ASEs infected with milk spots aren't more valuable. << <i>Seriously, I'd like to know what everyone thinks is a solid but not crazy price per set? >> I would also like to…
