TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4867 Posts	Posted 01/25/2010 09:02 am I was looking at a silver MS quarter from Canada. But the coin has hazy patches. Does this affect the grade? Edited by TheForce 01/25/2010 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RFB Pillar of the Community United States 532 Posts	Posted 01/25/2010 09:25 am Without a picture it is hard to really say. Are you talking about a toned type of haze? Or more like frost that sits on the surface? Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/25/2010 09:27 am I would say yes.I have seen silver coins with"milk"spots on them and they were priced less then those without the spots.I myself would not buy a coin with haze or spots on them,it negatively effects the eye appeal and value.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 01/25/2010 6:47 pm yes it will effect the grade, any imperfection on a proof coin effects the grade especially when it gets over 65. Milk spots are one of the things I know of that can really mess up a nice coin and there is nothing you can do about it because it is the way the planchets were prepared before striking Report this Post to the Staff

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4867 Posts	Posted 01/25/2010 7:03 pm For less than $4 I couldn't beat the price! I believe the auction said it was from a roll. It has nice details however. Maybe the coin will look better in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
rastatodd Valued Member United States 487 Posts	Posted 01/25/2010 7:10 pm I would like to ask a question of the panel. What is the main cause of the hazing on a silver coin? I have a collection of silver proof State Quarters and I detect this hazing on a few of my coins. Report this Post to the Staff
