   I haven't even though I will have to admit that I have seen more PCGS slabbed ASE's vs NGC's personally. But it appears to me that PCGS has a bigger problem with these than NGC and may well be part of the reason they no longer award the grade of 70 to any ASE's. Your thoughts/experience....

   Have they ever figured out the cause of this?

   I just went through three complete sets of NGC MS69 Silver eagles. All but 15 had spots. These will be returned to NGC soon. So the answer to your question, based on the above and experience with 100's of PCGS I would say NGC has an equal amount of trouble.

   I've seen many both in PCGS and in NGC slabs. Using acetone to stabalize the surfaces seems to help prevent them from forming post-certification.

   Thanks for the info and wonder how the 20th Anniversary Set silver coins will fare? Reckon the burnished blanks will help?

   << <i>Have they ever figured out the cause of this? >> The cause is due to the rinse that the mint uses. The cure is yet to be defined.

    I just looked at an old collection of eagles that were raw/mint packaging and about 20% had spots. Trying to tie milk spots to PCGS isn't going to hold up to scrutiny.
