Milk spot question.
I've been collecting proof cameo coinage from the '50's and '60's for literally decades, so I'm pretty well up on milk spotting. However, something happened to me recently that I haven't seen happen before, and I'd like your thoughts on the issue. I've owned an NGC PR67UCAM 1958 Franklin for 5ish years. I knew that… -

<< <i>Most people don't know this... but before PCGS developed the Sniffer to test coins, they had the unsuccessful Sneezer.

Re: Milk spot question.
i have said this for awhile, but i'll say it again------i see Milk Spots as a point of manufacture strike-through issue and not a post strike spotting issue, so in that sense what you are describing aren't Milk Spots, it's another anomoly altogether which was probably caused by some substance getting on the coin's surface… -

Re: Milk spot question.
Just to clarify one point. When I sent it in to PCGS it was still in it's NGC slab. Keets' answer basically supports my thoughts. -
Re: Milk spot question.
I agree with Keets... not a condition from the mint... some environmental contaminant while out of the slab. Cheers, RickO -

Re: Milk spot question.
This reminds one of the conundrum of removing a coin from its original packaging, shipping it all over the place, subjecting it to uncontrolled environmental conditions, then complaining when it gets spots. Maybe the gold ring is only cheap plating?
