This ms69 is offered at auction starting at around 45$. Its nice to get a graded coin. But it shows milkspots, probably after grading. It might be subjective if one are bothered or not, but In general does milkspots nullify much of the slabbed premium? Thankfull for your thoughts  |

I just checked a bunch on ebay with free shipping. Don't know if that includes shipping to Sweden. I did notice that most of them have milk spots and other issues so look close before you make a purchase. John1 |

Shipping from within EU is cheaper but prices higher. Thanks for advice, il look into it. I don't think there is any vat for orders under 160$ when buying from the North America |

Hello Moniker, I have found, Like Many other American Silver Eagles Collectors is that Certain years the United States Mints used Differing Manufacturing Process's, In making Mint Marked ASE's.These Certain years, I have Found to be Most Early 1986-2000 ish have been Mostly Found on the Bullion Issued Coins ( no mint marks ). Not to say Other Years the Same problem has Not been found. I have Heard of Mint Marked Examples showing signs of Milky White Spots, Seen Long After the Grading Dates Too. As suggested Above, " Europe is the place where unwanted US coins go to die " Is it Really that Difficult to Locate the American Made Coins/Medals ? What about a Coin Show/Brick and Mortar Coin Shops, Raw Examples ? Graded coins Only ?  ...... Best Wishes, MD |

Well the market is small here I guess and many are like me new. There is very few coinshops, and I think most of them specialize in local or european coins. Maybe there is a lot of highend collectors I don't know. But rhe feeling I have is that for example morgans graded ms 62-65 is few. Over in the states there are hoards of them. So xf or low au coins thends to get high bids. This one sold for 170$ A 1901-o maybe I'm missing out on something#128516;  But hey my first Eagle will always be a San Francisco  |

Thank you, I passed.¨
I think its up for auction because of the spots, the ms69 will maybe get some milkdrinkers to bid on it.

I know some production numbers in the 90s had low mintage so I understand they might fetch higher prices. Say those with mintages 10m-30m. The one I bought looks near spotless but I can't judge strikes they all look so darn good :D |
