   * Milk spots only seen on silver coins. Agreed. * Milk spots NOT on NGC coins.....sounds like some folks agree with that. I "think" I have seen 1 NGC slabbed SAE with a milk spot. Not sure if I still have it or not, as it has been a handful of years. Common SAE (aren't they pretty much all ;) ) and I didn't slab it, so I…

   That is NOT what I said. If the milk spot formation process is an oxidation process involving oxygen from the AIR, preventing milk spot formation would be indicative of a more air tight holder. Personally, I don't have any sense whether NGC or PCGS holders are better at this. Intercept shield used to advertise themselves…

   Agreed. But if the anecdotal observation that NGC slabs have less milk spotting is true, it does potentially have implications beyond the milk spots. That was the only point I was trying to make before someone felt the need to call me ignorant again. LOL. I need to learn to just ignore those people, but it was a long week…

   I seem to have more "milk spot" problems with PCGS. Put away 10 of the 2006 2 coin set of the Proof PCGS69's and they all developed the spots. NGC coins that were put away(a safe) did not develop the spots. PCGS used to pay you money back if they develop these spots; now charge to try to remove them.

   A new thread on milk spots is a good idea. I was only concerned with spots on the EU sets anyway. It's a normal reaction anyway when you see one---EUUUUU!!! Spots, scratches, damages, some complained about oil, but I thought I read somewhere that most of these sets are really perfect. Chris called them a Hybrid....I love…

   It's apparent, by your reply, you have no idea what the major cause of "milk spots is."

   Is the PCGS milk spot problem appearing on non-silver coins? I thought it was a PCGS/silver problem.

   It's> @Onastone said: It's definitely not the holder because raw coins milk spot also. [Although I'm sure you were kidding...]

    So then, do you have any non-silver PCGS slabbed coins that are showing milk spots? Please post some pictures. Thanks.
