   1) The coins are raw and milk-spotted so people saying "I keep them raw to reduce chance of milk-spotting" better be careful...it isn't all about the slabs but likely about the storage environment 2) Whoever wins the set shouldn't return them because of the milkspots...they are readily visible. 3) It may already be trading…

   << <i>Wow, I guess spots are market acceptable >> A year ago I saw some 1995-W coins for sale at David Lawrence in PCGS slabs. The kicker was that it was hard to see the coin because the spotting was so bad. They were not selling at a discount. I think at the time $4,500.

   For this particular set the 20th anniversary I do not think the spots are a big deal. As far as we at CU go, we all know that they are either going to happen, or have the possibility of happening. It is STILL a 20th anniversary set.

   Milk spots on the MS.. too bad... I lean towards Bochi's explanation, storage - that being said, I think there is a 'root cause' that allows the storage conditions to cause the manifestation of the phenomena... Cheers, RickO

    He is selling them on eBay . . . with 'standard' (for an ASE) problems visible. Frankly, if I opened my 10 and found them spotted, I'd probably try eBay as well. Do we expect him to a. Insist on a maximum bid of no more than $200 due to the spotting? b. Melt them for fear of a return or neg from a purchaser? c. Hold them…
