Re: The arguement FOR conservation of coins and the wise use of services offered by NCS.
i think the "Conservation coin of the month" is really just a marketing tool they use to demonstrate how much they can really do. if memory serves me correctly, when NCS first started they championed the fact that not every coin is a good candidate for conservation and evaluationwas a key element of their service. that is… -
Re: Collecting 1991 Topps errors/variations
Another wrinkle to the 1991 Topps Variation/Error list - Going through this set recently noticed that some players have a dark spot or hashmark on the the "4" in the the "40 Years of Baseball" Logo. Most players have a corrected version but some do not. Most with corrected versions are equally divided in quanity between… -
Re: This auction will be a true test of the value of PCGS plastic!
I'm not sure if this is considered milk spotting, PCGS explicitly excludes this: PCGS Policy for Spotting of Modern Silver Coins https://www.pcgs.com/silver-coins-spot-policy -
Re: Dirty lincoln
My experience with copper and the look of the spot lead me to say no. It looks like mild carbon spotting (mild in terms of depth, not size). Spots such as these are not really on the surface but lie beneath the field as well. Thus, even careful removal by whatever means, will leave a "pit" in the surface of the coin. -
Re: Why don't Peace Dollars come toned like Morgans????
I have heard the acid dip story also but can not find a source on the Internet. I heard that it is what causes the milk spots or water spots on uncirculated Peace dollars. Those spots do not dip out. It seems to me that these "water spots" are really only prevalent on 21, 22, 23 and (to a lesser extent) 24 Philly dollars.… -
2006 RP PF-68 With one spot
The spot is on the obverse about 1/16". What would "YOU" do with this coin? It does not look like the typical " MILK SPOTS " -
Re: Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"
now that i've slept on it, i can talk about it. when you lose a 29-point lead, you have to do things yourself to make that happen. in the first half, the Spurs shot 14-of-26 from 3........they were unconscious. scored 76 points. that's not sustainable, and that should have been the halftime speech. maybe it was, idk. if… -
2014 and the mint is striking new issues -- if no spots, have they already lost you?
How many have stopped collecting new coins, circulating or NCLT or both, due to the varying spot issues each has? Could the mint get people back if the coins are issued spot free? Now milk spots show up after, but perhaps they figure out prevention. -
Re: Todays coin show goodies! Kennedys
All the 64s are Proof. The spots on the 65 don't look like milk spots, but more like water spots. I'm hoping NCS can clean it up. -
Re: Grade the Franklin
It looks like it should cam, but with PCGS right now they are being awefully tight on cam/dcam coins. They could bone you due to the fade toward the bottom of Franklin's bust and the top of the bell. In my book, it should be a cam all the way, but they are being really weird. If those are milk spots on the obverse and…
