Re: US Mint Question
It may be apostasy, but for very modern mint stuff, why not just open them? You are unlikely to get a premium for sealed boxes on most of those things. For a lot of them, you'll get less. I mean, how many of you would buy a silver eagle that you didn't know if it had milk spots or not? Have you tried calling the mint? -
Re: I can't believe no proof gold/silver eagles for another year.
<< <i>Hmm, Russia, China, Canada, Australia - they are not running out of blanks. This really is an invented problem. The real blanks are the fools running the US mint. >> Hey! I resemble that remark. Do you think Russia, China et al can get milk spots to stick on their bullion coins like the U.S. Mint can? I - don't -… -
Re: o.k. new can of worms: Is a dipped coin mint state.
Dipping seesm to have less reaction with proof than MS coins. Try not to dip MS coins, as they do ahve a slightly different look, but almost undicernable. Prrof coins with "stuff" on them need to be dipped, or the "stuff" keeps eating into the coin's surface. Milk spots won;t grow and can't be taken off proofs. If you know… -
Re: What do you think of this 1993 SP Derek Jeter PSA 10 auction?
I was going to let this go but I can't. Here is my opinion... This seller does not have the card. He stole the scan from here... LINK The dead give away is the white spec of dust on the front of the card lower left just to the right of the K on NEW YORK. not to mention the spot visible in the middle edge on the bottom of… -
Re: Finished My Shilling By Monarch Set Today 20/20!
Thanks everyone! Just a reminder that the Anne is from one of the forum members here @atom outstanding coin. Honestly, I don't know but I am not in a hurry to start something new. I suspect I will get a few upgrades for this set in time but it is far too financially demanding a set for me to want to do something similar… -
Share your current pocketpieces or good luck pieces.
I have been carrying the 1987 SAE for a couple years and the 1964 Proof Accented hair Kennedy for about 18 months.I carry them with other objects such as keys and other coins.The Kennedy was probably a PF-64 when I started,but had a couple milk spots that wouldn't come off.Share yours if you like. -

Re: pcgs and other tpg's at the long beach show?
So, I am going to carry my mint sealed box of five 2006 ase three coin sets under my arm and a few raw morgan cc's I guess and see if I can get them graded on site. I am just afraid that when they open that box they find milk spots wish me luck! -
Re: 2007-W ASE MS70 PCGS
<< <i>Think of the 1000's of coins sent to NGC because some 'brilliant' PCGS guy decided in advance that NO MS70 are possibile for Mint State Silver! >> We'll see. If hindsight shows that a bunch of NGC 70s are developing milk spots and NGC has to eat boatloads of them, PCGS will look pretty smart. If that doesn't happen,…
