It's a little more than completely natural, it is way beyond common for coin collectors. The vast majority of collectors got through periods in...
A lot of people call them, or refer to them as milk spots but the spots we see in the pics in this thread are not milk spots. Milk spots are...
This is far more common than most people think. And Burton is right, it occurs when the planchets are punched out of the strip. In simple terms...
They are not milk spots. The spots you see on the reverse were caused by some foreign material getting onto the coin. In all honesty, it looks...
The doldrums ? That's sure not how I'd phrase it. The most recent bear market in coins that started in 2008, and kept dropping until the end of...
