dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 3:24 pm In answer to your question, PCGS and NGC will downgrade a coin depending upon the amount, size and so forth of the milk spots. They consider that it does take away from the appeal of the coins although, it is a natural occurrence of the minting process from the Planchet forward. It happens more often on Silver coins.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 5:56 pm Normal strike weakness, most evident in the hair and temple flatness. I don't like the right obverse field, several nicks on the reverse columns. 66RD Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
