That’s why I prefer buying coins in older holders rather than new ones. Original, not dipped surfaces, help you avoid the problem too. </p><p><br /></p><p>Over on the PCGS blog somebody complained that an eBay seller was not “showing respect for PCGS” when he or she mentioned that an MS-70 graded, “First Strike” Silver Eagle had “spots and scrapes.” Here’s a bit of reality for you PCGS fanatics.
