[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 750908, member: 18157"][b]Update[/b] I recieve the IHC last week, but Richard hasn't been available to offer a second opinion. Here's mine... Positive: The color of the coin looks nice in hand. There is a slight, even tone and some mint luster underneath. The coin is a Snow-2 variety combined with a "filled die" error...interesting to me. Negative: There are distracting scratches on the cheek. I would grade the coin MS61. The coin is a far cry from the MS64 (near-Gem) as described in the auction. I'll keep the coin due to its unique features. I clearly overpaid for it, though. I've gotten some pretty good deals from this seller in the past so won't worry about it too much. I'll certainly let them know about it and be more careful in the future... [B]"Past history is no guarantee of future performance."[/B] Thanks to everyone for your input! :bow: Mark, Gainesville coins wrote me back and said they were all out of "Milk Spot" coins. I've contacted a number of folks in the past couple of months looking for Milk Spot ASEs...as soon as I show an interest, they act like Milk Spots are some sort of rare mint error and want to charge a premium...(idiots!).[/QUOTE]
