1. 1986 Proof 70 ASE to TPG or not to TPG?

   If you had an absolutely pristine 1986 Proof ASE, would you send it in? It is still in the US Mint capsule. I did contact PCGS about 2 months ago, and they did say they accept them. I asked about milk spotting, and the customer service rep said she believed the1986 was not as likely to milk spot, but was not 100% certain…

   << <i>It is Proof. So I understand, the proofs are not likely to milk-spot? Is it at all possible? >> The proofs do spot often. Because their surface is polished PCGS can actually remove spots if detected early. They cannot do this on MS coins. I agree with a former post that the 1986 is less likely to spot than ones in…

   It is Proof. So I understand, the proofs are not likely to milk-spot? Is it at all possible?

   Milk Spotting is an issue on MS coins more so than proof coins. Sending one coin in will most likely garner a 69

   Get it graded. Why are you asking this question? You have already paid the grading fee and you get a guarantee covering the possibility of milk spotting.

   My main concern is the likelihood of milk-spots. I hate to have something I've kept in good shape for over 10 years get messed up. I am fully aware of the unlikelihood of an MS 70.

   To go against what some other posters say I have done many submissions of one coin that has come back a 70. If it is truly a 70 there is a good chance that is what it will come back as. For milk spotting I don't think it has much to do with the slab. Most likely being exposed to the air between your house and PCGS will get…
