<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2128207, member: 19065&quot;]Right, there is a lot of confusion and little definition. Without a known cause, how can even PCGS assert expertise over others&#039; results or findings as to what it is or isn&#039;t causing it and whether one factor or shape of a spot and its appearance accurately describes the condition or some phase of what we have all come to call, milk spots. What is the PCGS definition of it, does everyone agree to it, and how does the TPG purport it will apply the definition to the consideration the awarding of of their offered reward? </p><p><br /></p><p>Some suggest others are misdiagnosing or lumping all whitish marks together with one type of spot that has a notorious name, but they have no more of an informed basis to say so than they have a grasp on the remedy or care for the condition. If they have and are not telling, then that pretty much runs counter to their own personal motto of sharing information. There is similar confusion for others to think they can diagnosis from others photos which marks can be dipped away. That&#039;s as problematic as &quot;guessing the grade&quot; from photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>If memory serves (since I can&#039;t find the link to a very old thread here, and have since lost track of the original images I took) the image Doug posted, may well have been one which I posted on CT sometime ago when I received very newly minted bullion ASE (early in the year of issue) certified in NGC holders and shared images on this forum to show how even brand new coins developed the spots and made it into high graded (MS69) holders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
