WTB - 2011 SHAWNEE NATION $1 Silver Proof "Great Comet"

I have long since completed the BU amd PF set for the Shawnee Nation. However, this one issue has eluded me. No rarer than any of the others, available in abundance. I had passed on a few in the past because of milk spots, something than I had never seen on any other Shawnee proofs. At this point, just any reasonable one… -

Re: Does this 1945 Merc look likes it's in a slab to you guys?
<< <i>It might just be a possibility that the guy doesn't know what slabbing means. >> Oh, this one knows what slabbing means. He's scamming a raw Accented Hair Kennedy right now that's covered in milk spots that he's calling "little white specks or lint" while also calling the coin a deep cameo and perfect. I sent him an… -
Re: Remove $5 Indian from PCGS holder?
Why would you want to crack it out? If that is the coin's number PCGS can do it for you. The gold that's underneath the milk spot is the coin, not the haze. PCGS should be able to help you out on it. It does however bring up a topic, for me at least: If there are milkspots on gold, what caused it? The plastic? :o Hmmmm.… -

<< <i>I am guessing that coinlieutenant has a good "feel" for the interaction between weather and coins >> If you leave them out in the open ocean air, then you will probably get some interesting toners. Other than that, I haven't experienced any problems with humidity. Milk spots yeah, but I doubt humidity has anything to… -
Re: My guess for the "changes coming"
Virtual Coin Collecting... you send your coins to PCGS to be graded and you receive your "slabs" online. The original coins will be stored at PCGS and you will buy/sell/trade collect your slabs online. No more worrying about theft, counterfits, milk spots, copper turning RB or BN, etc. You new "slabs" will live forever! -
Re: Canadian silver
Add me to the list. For bullion speculation the $5 silver Maple Leafs are sweet. I like the low mintages, no milk spot issues and how the Queens image changes as she ages. I think all the Canadian coins are under valued and will increase in demand when more American collectors turn their eyes towards our northern neighbors. -
Re: Do you want to make someone's day?
I gave a milk spotted 2006-W ASE I got back from PCGS to the daughter of the owner of a chinese take-out restaurant I frequent. She would always get excited when I paid for my order with Presidential dollars or Kennedys. Her dad wanted to buy it and I gave it to the little girl. It sure made her day. -
Re: PCGS, NGC Coin Grading Scam Alert (on CMI gold and silver site)
Ok, fresh from the conspiracy desk. Does the "milk spot" issue and the fact that no unc ASE's have graded 70 lately seem intentional as a way to prevent bullion coins from becoming high priced collectibles? Seems odd that the Commemoratives aren't stuck with this problem, yet the ASE's can't be cured. This is not…
