Re: Are First Strike premiums worth it on AGE/ASE? What about 69 vs 70?
If you make 70, unload it ASAP, or you might end up with this. Purchased spot free in 07, spots developed sometime in September 2011. Search "milk" nuff said. -
Re: Rust on silver coins?
Silver reacts with the sulfur in the air. Milk spots happen and as far as I know cannot be removed. Old silver coins turn black and cracked around the edges. Their "rust is iron oxide" argument isn't as strong as the "rust like process that metal endures" meaning that people use. Keep calling it rust just to annoy them :)… -
Re: GTG of this coin (these photos have been posted before).
I dont know how SMS enters into the equation, but as a proof its clearly a 66 (due to the milk spots) DCAM. Assuming no hairlines limiting the grade. If the spots are not obvious in hand, could be a 67, or 66+ -

Re: Submitting bullion to PCGS

Re: so what's this spot
A gold coin won't have a small spot of toning, and I've never seen milk spots on them before. Since it seems to be strongest at the center, I'd be inclined to say PVC. Jeremy -
Re: Ricko for sure didn't dip this one...
To me it is NOT an ATAPS = Artificial Toning Attempted after Slabing lol :) The coin was originally slabbed with the "milk" spots on it. The spots are in the same locations but the "spots" seemed to have multiplied and turned a nice coin into a disaster. It might have been an estate find and placed in a secret storage…
