Who is the master of dipping coins here?
I have two coins I need someone to see if they can clean them.. I have a Silver quarter with a haze.. A ASE with those milk spots. Can these be clean to make them new or are the spots in the metal alloy there for good. Pm me and I will pay you a fee of give you a coin for your services. -
Re: arrived from Ampex
Never had any problems with milk spots on ASE's or Canadian coins. I suppose it depends where you live or how you store them. In humid areas or close to the ocean, the spotting appears to be more prevelant. However, since I purchase mine by the rolls..that's my storage device. Flips should be ok or direct fit holders -
Re: When did PCGS start giving MS70's on ASE's?
<< <i>I thought they only went up to 69 for MS on the ASE's. When did they re-start the 70 grade? They must feel the milk spot problem is solved?? >> More likely, they saw NGC was getting all the submissions and decided that the potential risk of eating a few spotted 70s in the future paled in comparison to the lost… -
Re: I'm glad that you do not collect gold coins.
You forgot to list one of the biggest advantages of collecting gold coins---gold is far less reactive than other coinage metals. With gold, you are far less likely to experience problems with milk spots, corrosion, tarnishing, carbon spots, etc. This is a major consideration if you live in a warm humid climate especially… -
Re: So here I am doing the PSA shuffle...
Speaking of the Mile High auction, I just noticed this and wanted to post it. Here's the card from the mile high auction that sold for a little on the havey side of $2,000. Here's another one on eBay: At first I thought it was the same card (notice the print spot) and thought the seller could be in a world of hurt if… -
Re: Ebay SAE Purchases Disappointing
When buying SAE's on e-bay or other internet sources... make sure there are clear large pictures, preferably a scanner, most scanners can't lie, when I post up SAE's , you can clearly see every little detail, including those that have milky white spots.... Also look at all of the sellers auctions, look and see if the… -
Re: Another "Before and After" thread .... have you ever dipped a coin?
<< <i>Russ how does NCS do on preserving proofs? >> They do an outstanding job. I send them the ones that I don't think I can improve myself. They're able, for example, to significantly reduce glue spotting, (not milk spotting, which is impossible for anyone). That's something I've never figured out how to do. Russ, NCNE -
Re: Can you buy bullion ingots at coin shows
<< <i>If you want gold bullion, forget ingots and buy AGE's and buffalos. >> That's the ticket! And don't forget milk spotted ASE and 90% for silver. Well under spot. There should be good pickings for the bullion types at the coming shows. They won't want to get stuck in what looks like a weakening market, and have picked… -
Re: Is There Still a Guaranteed Regrade
Not sure if it helps but I return silver coins with milk spots and just check the other box. I then write in David Hall Spot review and write a quick letter describing the problems. It takes 1-2 months but I usually either get a check or get them cleaned up and re-slabbed and I only have to pay for shipping. -
Re: How many people have ASE's at PCGS for spot review?
I just wonder when PCGS is going to pull the plug on spot reviews. How much can they absorb? Can they buy back all the Anniv. sets? I think it's a matter of time before all the 20th Anniv. Sets start to milk, including mine that were vacuum sealed the day I received them. No spots yet, time will tell.
