Re: The Never Ending FRIDAY Metals Thread!
And then this week, I got the silver one, was holding out for a 70 but cannot find one anywhere so I settled for a 69, luckily this thing does not have any milk spots! That was my biggest fear… -
Re: If you send in for SecurePlus and they downgrade or genuine, does that invoke grade guarantee?
BTW - most of the warranty claims listed on the Statistics page come through the "Other" service submission. I assume that everyone knows that if your PCGS coin develops a milk spot, a carbon spot, unnatural toning, or something of that nature, you can submit the coin under the Other service and simply write in "Spot… -
Re: Keeping slabs healthy.
<< <i>I have seen some graded coins that are 70's, but the seller will make comments that there are spots on the coin etc. that have occurred after they have been graded. >> As already suggested, use a silica gel and keep it dried out.

Re: Quality of Gold WLH
I received a spotted ASE once, in the early nineties...not milk spots.....and I returned it...very fast replacement. That was the only 'defective' I have ever received from the mint. Cheers, RickO -
Re: I think I have a DCAM 1964 Kennedy. GRADES ARE IN!!!!
That is a great looking half. Ammonia can sometime help the milk spots - but use at your own risk. I've had some luck with it on halves in the past. They will downgrade it because of the spot a point or two.
