<< <i> @ Secondrepublic How is the quality of those Britannias? The first batch of last year was a fiasco. >> The quality in this roll was pretty high, except for a few that had some light milk spotting. I wonder whether any spotting will emerge from the others later -
Re: Official 2008 Allen & Ginter Rip/Trade/Show Off/Information Thread....
I agree that the silks are great and I'm glad that HeritageAddict is done bidding on the Cardinals ones While waiting on the silks I've been slowly getting every mini back variation of the Cardinals players and a few of the non-spots cards that I like (Einstein, Nietzsche, Bigfoot and the Arch). Luckily I pulled the Arch… -
Re: Best way to avoid spotting/toning on your ASE's?
<< <i>What about commems and stuff like the Buffalo dollar? Why don't those spot? >> Silver IKE's and Kennedy's suffer from milk spots as well. Some of the 1971-S blue pack coins looks horrible and they are still stealed in the cello! -
Re: What would you grade this 1959 Cameo Franklin Proof?
<< <i>Note: There is one nick on the chest. And two small spots on the coin. There are virtually no hairlines. >> That's a shame. The milk spots will probably only grow. I would grade it "melt" or about $5.70. But if you hurry you could get $10 - $20 on the 'bay. -
Re: Collectors of American Silver Eagle's, A Question
I have a complete set of MS and working on a PF. The main problem with the coins is the damn milk spots. When these are present the coin really looks bad. Same problem with the chinese panda's only they don't spot you get a haze on the entire coin. -
Re: Has anyone checked the price on a 1995-W Proof ASE lately??
I sold mine about two months ago for $2200, but it was statring with those milk spots. I thought it was time to take the money and run. I actually sold my complete set. About 1/3 had spots. Broke my heart. -
Re: Why are star designations so difficult on...
As far as NGC registry goes I think it is now more meaningless than ever. Just recently the number one Eisenhower Proof Silver set (which has only 5 slots) and consisted of all 5 coins in NGC Pf 69 Star Ultra Cameo was beat by a PCGS set that had all 5 coins in PCGS Pf 70 DCam. Never mind NGC doesn't grade proof 70's for… -
Re: Everyone's advice on getting coins ready for submission....
1. What do I hold my coins with (type of glove), when transferring them to the flips? Clean bare hands. Handle only by the edges. For lifting proofs out of sets I use flips to gently lift an edge. 2. I have several coins with haze and or milk spots, will acetone take care of this? If so will it damage my coins at all? 3.… -
Re: Gold chain
You're gonna be looking a long time if you think you can get any jewelry at spot + 10%. Can you get a book or a gallon of milk at cost plus 10%? Unless you are buying used then expect to pay spot +50% easy for any fabricated piece, unless you think they will melt the gold, create the chain, ship it to the retailer and have… -
Re: 1883 Proof Trade Dollar, PR-69!
This thread just popped up so I'm late to the party. Please humor me as I've trained my eye to find every tiny defect on a coin and then I "back off." While my opinion does not matter to anyone, please indulge my thoughts. The OP's coin is one of the nicest I've see of that date; however, NGC has grossly over graded it.…
