Re: How many coins have you purchased slabbed, only to have them "turn" in the holder later?
<< <i>Dippy-ee-de-du-da! That's why we have these problems. >> The vast majority of milk spots that emerge on 1950 to 1964 proof coins are because they weren't dipped to stabilize the surfaces and remove contaminants that can later materialize as milk spots.

Re: Not a big deal but, I still love finding nice Cam/ Dcams in sealed sets......
What the hell are you clowns looking at, there is frost missing 11 o`clock just above the three, missing frost just above the three at 12 oclock, the coin is covered in milk spots obverse with a few more reverse, not to mention the coin is covered in haze not a good sign for a DCAM, or even Cam at that point.
