Re: Considering selling some of my 10 set 20th Anny SAE's...
I actually did the 1st strikes with a set of 5. Got 3 MS68 SAEs. I agreed with 1 of those (milk spot....I've seen worse in PCGS MS69 holders but I didn't feel it should be a MS69 so I sold it as-is). I took the other 2 and paid for the HRH Presidential Review and HRH agreed with me...they got the MS69 label (there was… -
Re: You Guys Are Just Really GREAT!!!! Thank You.
Welcome I would say the most important thing about what you collect is that you enjoy them There is no reason to get them graded. If you get a bad looking coin (black spots, milk spots , finger prints..ect.. )in a mint or proof set send it back, or sell it and get you a replacement. -
Re: What to do with Proof Sets
Unless the individual coins are exceptionally nice you are probably wasting your money by sending them in to be slabbed. If they have any "milk" spots, carbon spots/specks/flecks, hairlines or if they don't have good mirrors don't bother. That's my opinion. I think far too many marginal coins are being submitted for… -

Re: Have you ever returned a coin........

PCGS Restoration
So I have a Proof Quarter in PR67DCAM. The coin does not have a lot of hairlines, but does have a couple of small milk spots. If the spots were not there I feel like the coin would grade a 68. Has anyone sent a coin into PCGS for restoration for this type of issue and have the coin upgrade one or more grades. Thanks… -
Re: Cool, first 2009 D Splitter rpm that I have found
<< <i>went through couple of rolls and I have to say that my rolls of wheaties are 10x better than the crap the mint is producing now...water spots and crappy strikes abound.

Re: White film on a high grade coin? What is it?
69 proof...sounds like haze, or sometimes can be little spots like milk spots...usually due to way the planchets were handled..if it covers the entire obv sounds like planchet wash...i know 50s 60s proof coins they used ivory liquid n warm water...but they stopped it mid 60s i thought. -
