<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2755946, member: 15929&quot;]I could be wrong but I do not believe that the cello used to package Blue Ikes contained ANY PVC and as such, your dealer was wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>NOTE: Milk Spotting has occured on US Mint &quot;SILVER&quot; coins since the 50&#039;s and can be, IMO, directly related to poor rinsing techniques used by the US Mint.

These coins are lost from a numismatic perspective as this stuff simply does NOT come off and if anybody knows a sure file method of removing this, submit your idea to PCGS as they have a standing $50,000 reward.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]632322[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Also Note: 1971 was the inaugural year for the Eisenhower Dollar and the US Mint had not produced a coin this large since 1934 (37 years). As such, handling and minting techniques were lost to the generations and had to be rewritten.</p><p><br /></p><p>For 1971, the 40% Silver collector pieces were shipped to the packaging facility in 1,000 coin bags which accounts for the overall terrible condition of the 1971-S coins compared to the 1972-S thru 1976-S coins which were shipped in &quot;tubes&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
