     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…

     BTW - most of the warranty claims listed on the Statistics page come through the "Other" service submission. I assume that everyone knows that if your PCGS coin develops a milk spot, a carbon spot, unnatural toning, or something of that nature, you can submit the coin under the Other service and simply write in "Spot…

     << <i>I have seen some graded coins that are 70's, but the seller will make comments that there are spots on the coin etc. that have occurred after they have been graded. >> As already suggested, use a silica gel and keep it dried out. There seems to be a different problem that affects the PR/MS70 silver bullion coins…

     I think the spots are from oil splater? I wish I could take a decent picture of it. They appear to have a shiney halo effect. I thought that was called milk spots but they are not white.

     I dumped mine because of the issue with milk spots, sold lots of PCGS RP 70's at or near 1,000 a piece, and what are they at now?link And how much would it be worth with spots?

     I received a spotted ASE once, in the early nineties...not milk spots.....and I returned it...very fast replacement. That was the only 'defective' I have ever received from the mint. Cheers, RickO

     Milk spots have been the bane of this series. It seems an acetone dip upon receipt (followed by proper rinsing) precludes this problem. None of my eagles have ever spotted. Cheers, RickO

     That is a great looking half. Ammonia can sometime help the milk spots - but use at your own risk. I've had some luck with it on halves in the past. They will downgrade it because of the spot a point or two.

     Dude...that ain't cool. Whats not cool? You would be a fool not to open the box, and take a peak. With all the milk spotting, it would be uncool to have your ASE's BB'd for spots. Just my humble opinion.
