Does PCGS still guarantee their grades on graded bullion coins?
I know that PCGS quit guaranteeing grades on the Silver Eagles that milk-spotted some time ago. I have some graded Gold Eagles that have developed fugly toning since graded, though. Does anyone know if PCGS still guarantees the grade for those? Thanks! -
DIGS O' THE DAY (2010-03-07): A MILE DOWN BLADEN ROAD
DIGS O' THE DAY (2010-03-07): A MILE DOWN BLADEN ROAD We'd just returned from an overnight trip down to Jacksonville, Florida, and the afternoon found me a little tired and sleepy. I knew I'd only end up napping if I stayed around the house, so I decided to initiate my "walk a mile a day" plan. As mentioned in the previous… -
Re: Prez Dollar Spotting!!
sorry i've none to look at but yours...maybe more will chime who do hold these. makes me think if this is a developing problem and pcgs ends up buying a bunch of these back like milk spots on eagles they may change position and just stop grading anything new out of the mint..except gold... -
Re: The proper way to act on the Coin Forum
With respect to number three. I'm not certain I know how to clean up milk spots. Perhaps we need to dig deeper on this one. You forgot about the part where one always salutes a member entering the forum with a higher posting count. Formalities of rank are important for the corps to function correctly. -
Re: How to clean coins?
A 50:50 jewel luster and distilled water solution followed by several alcohol dips then using a compressed air source to blow off the final rinse usually works. I always used to get some milk spots that would develope after a period of time using this method. Russ is the dip master... ask him. -

Re: POLL Is buying gold and silver for way under melt a crime?
Now that the forum is creating federal legislation on coin crime, I have a few points. Dealer A is in the big city. He/she buys bullion for spot and sells for 5% over spot. No crime here, right? Dealer B is in a smaller city, but big enough. He/she buys bullion for 5% under spot and sells for 10% over spot. Possible crime… -
Re: Free shot at an Accented Hair on eBay.
<< <i>Just what is the premium on a non-cam AH? >> It is very condition dependent. A high percentage - much higher than the regular - are doggie POS coins. Many are milk spotted, and many more that are spot-free suffer from obverse hairlining. Nice ones grading PR66 or better do bring a premium. For raw ones a true PR66… -
Re: You can't have it both ways
There is a significant difference between doctoring and conserving! Dipping a coin does less harm than many here would like to believe and to dip or not dip is a question of relevance. Dipping a crusty circulated coin is just plain stupid however popping a modern uncirculated coin in a preventative dip is not. I have no… -
