<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JeffC, post: 3225092, member: 90913&quot;]Let me start by saying that I really like the artistic designs behind Provident&#039;s &quot;Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse&quot; series, which are quite elaborate and stunning.&nbsp; I purchased each piece as it came out directly from Provident.&nbsp; I look at the set every now and then and recently, I noticed a couple of &quot;milk spots&quot; on one of them.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if I&#039;m using the correct term for the discoloration and if not, please let me know.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you take a closer look at the piece, you&#039;ll notice two spots: one by the tail of the Black Horse and another, smaller one beneath the letter &quot;E&quot; in FAMINE.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are my questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; Are these milk spots and will they get worse?</p><p>2.&nbsp; What causes them?&nbsp; I&#039;m in Florida but the room my coins are kept in is fully air-conditioned with very low humidity.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen ads wherein NCS stated that they can &quot;conserve&quot; coins and then transfer them to NGC for grading, but it appears that such services are more relevant to mainly older and more valuable coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; If the spots proliferate, what is your advice?&nbsp; Does anyone here have any similar experience with sending (relatively) new coins to NCS for &quot;cleaning&quot; and then to NGC for re-holdering?</p><p><br /></p><p>As always, any feedback that you give is appreciated and thanks to all in advance for your help and input.&nbsp; If the spots do not get worse, I&#039;ll probably just leave well enough alone.</p><p>[ATTACH]840564[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]840565[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]840566[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
