Re: Storing, protecting, displaying my coins
It seems no matter how you store your ASEs, they will develop milk spots. Many threads on this one if you do a search on "milk spots". I really liked the series but sold off my ASE proofs and MS that were in PCGS slabs. As far as other coins go, the Intercept Shield products seem to be a good choice. BTW, welcome to the… -
Re: It's about damned time I got a decent eBay score.
<< <i> << <i>Was I correct in attributing this one as an Accented HAir? >> You were indeed. I see it has the milk spots that are so common on these, though. Bummer. << <i>Does that mean all AH Kennedies are doubled dies? >> Right again! >> Thanks, Russ. Well cool, now I have a rationale for hoarding them, too. I need to… -
Re: A touchy quesion...
I've always considered dipping a coin to be a conservation step. Every Silver Eagle I own gets dipped to eliminate or at the very minimum "reduce" the possibility of Milk Spotting. Unlike toning, once an SAE spots, the coin is ruined. Some Silver Kennedy Proofs as well as some Eisenhower Proof and BU Silver coins are also… -
Re: 2000 Silver Eagle PCGS MS70 POP 1 at $19,500 and two days to go!
Crazy what a label will bring. What are the chances if cracked out and resubmitted it comes back a 69? Never understood the whole 70 bullion thing, maybe I should submit my two albums, one 70 would be worth the effort. Then toss in the milk spot issue, 1 milk spot wipes away the 70 grade. To each his own. -
Re: Flips, 2X2 or what do you like?
That would be an Air Tite holder and I use 'em too. The ones in your images have the insert. They also make holders without the rubberized insert. Some prefer this due to their alleged association with milk spotting. However, I 've had my ASEs in 'em for more than a decade on so far no milk spots. << <i>I like this… -
Re: ASE Eagles Upgrades???
aus3000tin, when PCGS changed their policy, it covered literally ANY Silver Eagle coin that had been graded under the old policy. So, if I had a 2000 or 2001 which I thought had a chance at an upgrade, just by virtue of being a Silver Eagle, it qualifies. The certification number has little to do with it as much as PCGS's… -
Re: First submission to PCGS.....any tips?
If you REALLY want good grades, you have to wrap each coin in a $100 bill! Otherwise, you're going to have to get lucky! LOL Since you're sending in silver eagles, you might want to clean them first. WHAT?!!! Clean coins?! The silver eagels get milk spots on them, sometimes in very short order. Russ has said he takes the… -
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: POLL: What anomoly bothers you the most?
<< <i>If done right finger prints can be quite attractive. For me it is spots whether they be carbon, Milk or other.... >> I don't know if I would go so far as to say that I think finger prints are "attractive"....but I am more ok with them (as long as they are not overly distracting) than the carbon or milk spots....they… -
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.
