They may look similar Drusus, but I doubt they are the same as what we call milk spots. Milk spots are only found on modern coins and they are due...
My comments have nothing to do with grading terminology. I am speaking from known facts, those being that there were coins in the GSA sales placed...
There are 2 actually, 1 where he posted about it - Post 1 - and the 2nd where he offered to sell it - Post 2
No, no - I have all of those ;)
I just wanted the folks to know that it was not a GSA. As for grade, the coin has 65 details for an O mint coin. But there is something going on...

It may well be that he is trying to comply with the copyright laws Carl. I applaud him for that.
Hobo - I wonder if th eissue is because of the seller. You said - Now I don't know if that is the problem - but it might be.
Huh ? Why not ? I've saved thousands of them.
I have to admit that I'm confused by the pictures. The coin on the left appears to be a normally colored coin. The coin on the right is definitely...
Acetone will not remove milk spots. Even a commercial dip will not remove milk spots. If the coin has spots they are there to stay. If you don't...
