commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12266 Posts	Posted 02/15/2017 08:22 am While the slab might be to blame for some of what you see, the issue around the "R" in "AMERICA" on the reverse of the third coin is clearly an issue with/on the coin. This surface issue would keep me from purchasing the set as a "70" set. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff
Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 02/15/2017 08:30 am Unbelievable. A modern proof with a milk spot comes back a 70. Once a modern proof has milk spots, its worth melt. Report this Post to the Staff
Foxwoods Man Pillar of the Community United States 4901 Posts	Posted 02/15/2017 09:33 am I stand corrected. That goober on the "R" is not good and on magnification there is a small buddy spot in the "E" next to it. Re: selling for spot (interesting choice of words). On the proof I would agree it would sell at a major discount but I have sold quite a few coins from this set and spotted RP 70's still go for a decent price. Spots were noted in title and description and visible on pic . I can remember getting around $170 for one with spots (plural) and around $100 for the 69's (RP's).

coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 02/15/2017 11:10 am Milk spots will appear on the coin after it has been graded sometimes. I've seen some really extreme examples before. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/15/2017 11:13 am At present spotted, clouded, or milk blurs on the ASE, especially the Proofs, are avoided by the vast majority of set builders. Anyone who has gotten excited about getting an ASE, especially a proof, at a GREAT price, probably didn't look long enough to see a cloud or spotting. This has nothing to do with the grade of the coin when it was graded. That spotting, clouding, and toning occurred almost exclusively after encapsulation. Everyone, myself included, who has built or worked on an ASE set of one type or another has received a "bad" coin they didn't expect. Trying to sell "bad" coins by honestly noting the problem, rather than surprising a bidder who did not look close enough, will result in significantly lower bids. Being cheesy and just putting a bad coins photos up with no mention of the problem (or "accidentally putting up blurry photos) will result in a lot of returns and bad feedback.

Bret Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 02/17/2017 1:48 pm Forget the spots on the coin. It has a "First Strike" label! That's got to make it worth more. :) Report this Post to the Staff
