Re: NT R AT?
<< <i>I read it and am not weeping. LOL. Then again the same person said twice in recent times that dipping ASEs in acetone will prevent formation of milk spots which I'm pretty sure is untrue. The same person he quotes told me that the dip is Ezest. >> Some people are dips, themselves. -
Re: Ok Ike guys and anyone interested a grade is needed
Very late die state, prints on Obv and reverse, milk spots on obv, some kind of haze (pvc?) on Ike neck? Not sure acetone can "save" this one. For a 72-S that can come much nicer..........I'm going NGC MS64. Brian I Love Variety & Error Ikes!~ -
Re: Went to a local show today and picked some cherries (Proof and SMS Cameos, aka widgets, but nice wid
Ricko. The 1964 half is not an Accented Hair example. If it was I would be crowing about it. The coin is simply a high grade (no hairlines, haze, toning, milk spots, etc.) Black and white two sided Cameo with thick, even, matched two sided frost and deep watery mirrored fields. It has lots of eye appeal. -

Re: 1921 Morgan Dollar Toning
1921 was the year they started using a different method of preparing the planchets which I believe included washing with hydrochloric acid. That's the major reason why there are so few bag toned 1921 Morgans and so few [if any] killer toned Peace dollars. IIRC there are lots of milk spotted coins in the Peace dollar series. -
Re: Worst white spots on a lady's dress?
<< <i>So let's see a ms70 by ICG should be worth about $20 they may downgrade it to an MS67 and cut you a check for $2 so figure out if your shipping both ways is worth it. Sorry. >> Or they may grab the first ASE from a roll and make a new MS70 to replace the one that's milk spotted. -
Re: I just picked this up today
Looks good so far. Doesn't appear to have any milk spots, which is one of the big problems on these. The other big problem is obverse hairlining, which is impossible to determine from an image. Check carefully for them after you remove it from the celo. If it's hairline free, it's an excellent score for $10. Russ, NCNE -
What is "eye appeal" ?
According to PCGS - full article Eye Appeal is one component of grade. For coins grading above MS/PR 60, eye appeal is one of the four components of grade. For Mint State and Proof coins, the three factors comprising a coin's "technical grade" are: 1.Number and severity of marks and abrasions 2.Luster, or Reflectivity for… -
Re: JM Bullion Cyber Monday Sale / 2023 1 oz British Silver Britannia Coin (BU) ON SALE!
