<p>[QUOTE="BAJJERFAN, post: 2135004, member: 74330"]You keep missing my drift. Let's assume that there is a method to remove milk spots. The method is in the hands of the person who discovered it. A person has paid strong money for a PCGS graded silver eagle coin whose value was largely in the label and not the coin. Let's say it develops milk spots after a year. The owner of the coin wishes to have it conserved and kept in/returned to the holder in which it currently resides. The only place that can assure the owner that his requirements would be met is PCGS. If you or I crack it out, clean it and send it to PCGS, there is no assurance that PCGS will holder it at all, much less to the way it was before you or I messed with it. I'd guess that 99% or more of the spotted ASEs aren't worth the effort/cost it would take to fix them. There are plenty of replacement coins available. IMO if you had a method of spot removal, you'd be better off to sell it to PCGS [if they'd even still want it] than try and make a go of it on your own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
