Re: American Liberty High Relief 2025
I received both gold and silver today, both beautiful, no milk spots, no lint, no anything but a beautiful, well designed and crafted coin. Good job US Mint. -
Re: Whats the highest this would grade???
<< <i>Is that spot something that would come off? >> That's impossible to tell from an image. Other than milk spots which, even in an image are obviously permanent, other spotting really requires an in-hand look to decide what to do. Besides that spot, it also appears to have some glue spotting on the left reverse… -
Re: How do you dip properly - I apparently know how to do it improperly
The reference to the mild soap comes from the directions on the side of the jar of EZ-Est. "wash immediately with mild soap, then rinse thoroughly under water". My first trial was an immediate, but quick dip in mild soap followed by a thorough rinse under water. That caused some improperly rinsed areas to show up within… -
Re: 1955 Doubled Die cent problem
it is more than just color changing - any environmental damage that emerges over time is not covered, including milk spots on modern coins. I guess over the years too may people improperly stored PCGS coins in environments that their holders could not protect the coin from fully. So it seems the guarantee only applies if… -

Re: Grade this Franklin 1950 Proof - SEE CONSERVATION PICS OCT-18
It's too bad that NCS removed the original rim toning. If those are milk spots beyond the Y in LIBERTY and below the Bell on the reverse it might be tough to receive any grade above 64. Still has a shot at Cam, but it's still hard to tell with images. Good buy for $279 however. -
Re: Does NCS conserve proof coins? or is.....
Yes, NCS conserves proof coins. Whether or not spots can be removed will depend on the nature of the spots. The mint-caused milk spotting that was fairly common on early '60's proofs is embedded in the planchet and is not removable without damage. Light water spotting or other minor spotting caused by post-mint… -
WTB: A Few Spotted Eagles!!
Looking to buy a few milk spotted silver eagles for spot removal testing. Need a couple in NGC and a couple in PCGS slabs. Also there are some which have spots that are more tea colored than they are white. Would like a couple of them as well. Prefer to pay around spot. PM or BAJJERFAN@aol.com with what you have. -
Re: Box of 20: Numismatic How Come's?
Some additions: Copper coins are graded BN when they are really Blue? God made milk spots? ANACS can't make a box of 20 slab box for the small white holder? Sports cards use a 10 point scale, but coins need a 42 point scale (all grades and pluses)? -
Re: Busting Low Graded Coins Out of Grading Holders ?
The video linked below from a local coin store in Florida shows him cracking out a bunch of slabs to send to be melted. It does appear to be happening with some of the coins where there is no premium to be had for slabbed with the current silver and gold prices. There are also quite a few milk spotted slabbed coins that…
