<p>[QUOTE="Wally Taylor, post: 4043471, member: 86395"]Maybe slightly off topic, but in the ballpark, PCGS RESTORATION WORKERS ARE GENIUS. I had an expensive Proof Silver Eagle (over $700). It had a small milk spot when brand new. I sent it in to PCGS RESTORATION, not the $5 milk spot treatment. It was probably just a little soak in Acetone, but when I got it back, the spot was gone, and ZERO marks where it was. It cost me $70, and the grade remained at PF69, but this is a BEAUTIFUL 69, and still spot free after a year. I think it would probably be an NGC PF70. It's just one of those PCGS SILVER EAGLES with absolutely no marks at all, anywhere. All mirrored surfaces are perfect. The coin is just awesome, and it had been a PCGS PF69 with the little milk spot. When I got it back, I thought it should be a PF70 for certain, but they may have some little thing that they look for. I think it was well worth the $70, because I wanted it in my collection. I'm just WAY happier having a beautiful and rare Silver Eagle PF69 that looks for all the world a PCGS PF70 WITH NO MILK SPOT. I HAVE A PAIR OF 25x surgeon's glasses, and the milk spot was completely lifted off with not even the tiniest mark. It just had to be a very tip top surface spot. Milk Spots CAN be removed by PCGS with NO DAMAGE. But it has to be a small spot, very light in color, and on a Silver finish, and not a mirror or a puffy Ultra Cameo lumpy finish. And I'm certain that it was Acetone or an experimental mix. I also think it has to be a nearly new coin. I'm just thrilled to have a beautiful, spot-free Eagle in my collection that I thought was a goner. I just want to say that those guys are GOOD! I wish I could send it in for CAC certification, but they don't do Silver Eagles. All that I can say is that PCGS RESTORATION SERVICE is worth a shot if You have a coin that you love.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
