John, Milk spots are from a cleaning solution not being washed off of the planchets before striking. John1  canyonmule, Your coin does not look like milk spots,some kind of a haze/toning. |

They almost all look like this if they're still in the packaging.
Many can be fixed with a nice long soak in 91% isopropyl alcohol.
There are other faster means as well but the alcohol is best and never leaves signs.
Most people don't realize that most of the coins from that era are gone now and the rest are worn out. Mint sets are the chief source but most of these have been destroyed now and most of the survivors contained spotted or tarnished coins. Oftentimes they can not be cleaned. Coins like '68 dimes are always tarnished and only some can be cleaned.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Did PCGS "conserve" the coin? The fields on their obverose look different

I didn't buy conservation so it's just the lighting. I was trying to show off the toning in that pic. In the original pic I was trying to emphasize the cloudy field. https://www.pcgs.com/cert/48035285Edited by canyonmule

Thank you for the slab pic. In the slab it looks like they must have "cleaned" it up. In your pic,there was something below IN left of and now I do not see it? The coin in the slab has a much better "eye appeal". John1 |
