   Has the collecting of silver eagle diminished? How many have bailed out and sold what they had because of the milk spotting potential?

   I sold my slabbed Siver Eagles simply because I needed the money. Milk Spotting had nothing to do with it. Chasing MS/PR70 seemed exasperating and wasteful as I've allowed myself to get spread way too thin in the collecting arena. Lots of pot's, lot's of fires, but little money.

   I have zero TPG silver eagles and I have zero milk spotted coins. Makes you wonder? I have a few proof issues still in OGP and an ms example for every year since '86 none of which have any spotting whatsoever.

   It's not the milk spotting that stopped me in the SAE series, it's the " no funds " department that put a halt on these. I'm sure when I get back on my feet I'll continue the stretch. I love the Silver American Eagle program.

   I kept exactly one proof for type. The rest got sold after the last mint debacle. Milk spots had nothing to do with the decision - but it is nice to know I don't have that risk anymore.

   You know what guy's, I was just thinking, what If these milk spots turn into a goldmine? Remember,not too long ago we felt the same about " that darn Tarnishing,this is destroying the value of my coin!!!" Well,Toning now is big money! Who knows?
