    Penn State will have to do better than that Auburn game if they want a taste of Bama hospitality.

    And we certainly have seen our share lately.

    Q.A. - you're a funny guy. Always coming up with these funny statements and, like some, you never seem to have any substance to back up your claims. So, once more you get away with not having to produce. Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that “Every action creates an opposite and equal reaction “. Alex First Law of the Forum states that: For every action there is an opposite and unequal over reaction.

    Would you please direct me to the comment(s) where this language was used. I have read this thread three times over and find no signs of 'poor' language or this 'bashing'. What I did see was some people who have passionate views of a subject. Maybe I missed something? Show me the way.

    I read the PCGS article by Mr. Hernandez. A lot of "could have been" and "it is believed: and "somehow" in it.

    I don't collect Modern coins but I believe PCGS slabbed some 1964 SMS coins. Am I wrong?

    One question if I may. Is it true that no US Mint records exist showing the production of these coins? Just curious.

    I have a mint tube of ASE's I bought several years ago and haven't looked at in a long time. Bet I got some with spots even though I store everything with Desiccant packets.

    And I thoought it was trick photography.

    Folks may not believe it but there's a growing market for the low grades. I've read a lot of wants for PO 1 on CT and ATS.

    Nice catch. Those fingers look awfully familiar.

    @denali12...While most coins do not come from the mint with milk spots, it is believed that the root cause of milk spots is present at the mint, and time allows them to develop into a visible phenomena. Many collectors have revisited their ASE's after being stored for a period of time, only to find them with the dreaded milk spots. Many collectors of modern coins have visited the subject of spots. Can Someone explain an MS-70 coin with blemishes and milk spots? — Collectors Universe

    PS: I personally like the OP's Peace Dollars and if he wishes to send them in I think it's fine. I would regardless of the end grade as a means of protecting them. Good luck to the OP.

    Since you obviously can't stand not knowing - I thought taking a break from the intense posts was a good idea. Is that okay with you?

    Not bad for $23.87. Pinehurst Coins wants $2800 - $29.00 for theirs. $22.87 right now on NY.

    Dealers submit in large quantity and this gives them the right to call the coins anything they want. Money talks and BS walks. Because the Coin Dealer paid for it.

    Die deterioration. Value = $0.10

    I have to agree with Coinbuf and say I rate it as XF 45. I see no evidence of a prior or old cleaning. Then again folks; we are judging by internet pictures and not coin in hand.
  23. Alex in PA.
    There's a whole catagory for them on EBay.

    Why not enlighten us as to what this coin is. It's easy to brag without proof. Describe it and if I am wrong I will gladly admite it but apparently I have more faith in the PCGS graders than most do. Either way; crack it and go for it them come back and prove me wrong. Also: have you thought you may have it come back a 61 or 60?

    So, if you cross to NGC that automatically raises the premium of your coin $1,000.00? I don't believe you. And I still say you are wasting your money. But then; it's your money.
