Re: You can't have it both ways
There is a significant difference between doctoring and conserving! Dipping a coin does less harm than many here would like to believe and to dip or not dip is a question of relevance. Dipping a crusty circulated coin is just plain stupid however popping a modern uncirculated coin in a preventative dip is not. I have no… -
Re: AH kennedys
<< <i>Hey Russ Is that 65 DCAM the one I sold to santos , ebay at 490. It came back from PCGS as a 64DCAM and I sent it back and it came back 65DCAM, did he get it to a 67DCAM?? >> coynclecter, It is indeed. He sent it off to NCS to have the milk spot removed, than resubmitted it to PCGS. Russ, NCNE -
Re: Rainbow Toners : Peace vs. Morgans... the 1921 Morgans
My understanding is that from 1921 on that silver planchets were washed with hydrochloric acid solution and that chloride residue remained/s after washing. This would be consistent with the fact that milk spots are silver chloride. Also from my limited investigation of same it was found that chlorine/chloride was the only… -
Re: Trying for a Plus with a green-holdered coin
It's worth a lot to me to know that a red copper coin in an old older isn't going to turn brown any time soon, that a white silver coin won't blacken or show spittle marks, dip/milk spots, or fingerprints, that a rare mintmark isn't going to fall off, or that a gold coin won't slough off a bunch of putty. -
Re: Wadda ya do?
I have sent back 10 SAE sets. Every one of the reverse proofs had milk spots and pits of some kind. I believe the worst two would have body bagged at PCGS, and some might have come back at PR66 or 67. You can see some of the photos here link -

Re: What is the Allure?
I have a friend who collects only coins with milk spots ... What is the allure? That’s the wrong question - the real question is why are you all so crazy? Because collecting coins is not rational - we are all a little nuts to spend this much time and money on coins - and they answer? We are all just a little crazy 😄 -

Re: Overheard at Superior Lot Viewing: "Do you think this is worth lasering?"
<< <i>I sort of wonder how all these "colorized" coin people get away with the colorizing, myself (speaking of the painted coins, but then, it could apply to the AT ones, too). >> Those people usually don't try to pass off colored coins for something they are not. Also I doubt they colorize ASE's to hide those unattractive… -
Re: Day 13
Day 5. While my hand remains unsteady I'm resolute in my mission. Yes, I feel like Neo in The Matrix dodging CAC bullets woven within the fabric of most every thread no matter how benign the title. Even Glicker's Milk Spot thread felt like a trap. mark
