Re: A perfect example of how a high grade expensive proof can become a dog after it's holdered (large im
hey Russ and tmtot99 milk spots are a strike through of the unremoved rinse residue and actually a part of the coins surface and can't be removed, i think we can agree on that, right?? i recall some members submitting coins to NCS with Milk Spots and the spots were minimized but not removed, leaving an easily visible… -

<< <i>Would there be any indication that these surfaces may have the likelihood of changing before the coin is removed from the original proof container? >> Unfortunately, no. Usually, if it's going to happen the milk-spotting has already developed while the coins are still in the packaging and it'll be obvious before you… -

This coin is listed in the Heritage auction and is graded PR69DCAM: Growing those ugly milk spots after removal from the proof set packaging is an all too common problem on these, and one that I've suffered myself. When the coin goes in for grading, it's pristine and beautiful. A few months to a year later, and it has… -

hey Russ HRH mentioned this issue either at a luncheon or in a response to a question, either at the Q&A or when he used to drop in here from time to time. it's also been discussed along with the fingerprint issues. though the last coin may have been spot free when submitted, breathing on it would cause condensation or… -

<< <i>How will it affect the value now that it's developing the milk spots. Or is it still going to sell at full value. >> Normal value range on these is $1200 to $1500. Last year, there was a spotted one listed on eBay and I said I thought it would bring around $800 or so. I wasn't even close. It brought over $1500. In… -

Russ here is a side bar on this. That coin is really a low pop. How will it affect the value now that it's developing the milk spots. Or is it still going to sell at full value. -

<< <i>Is there any conservation technique to return this coin to its 69DCAM state? >> There is none that I know of that will completely remove this type of problem, known as milk spotting. I've had some success with NCS reducing them, but even they seem unable to completely remove them. Russ, NCNE -

This "developing" of milk spots does not surprise me that it happens over time after it has been removed from the cello. This is very similar to a problem camera manufacturers had shipping cameras and lenses around the globe. They were clean when they left the factory, but when they were sold, white fingerprints had formed…
