tradrodz Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I recently acquired a 1986 thru 2006 set of silver eagles all graded MS70 by a company I'm not really familiar with, Midwest Financial...? Many of the coins in the set have light toning around the edges and some of them have dark spots. To a collector, does this affect the value? I tried posting pictures, but am having a tough time.

Corina Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 toning doesn't add or take away value for a collector and the black spots are a common issue with those type of coins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tradrodz Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Thanks Corina. I'm new to coin collecting so forgive me for my questions, but how would to they be graded MS70? Is the toning and spots something that happened over time? If I were to sell them would listing them as MS70 falsley advertising? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 toned and formed black spots in the holder most likely after grading as for selling them just tell about the toning and the black spots that way no issue arise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikaros Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I'm not familiar with 'Midwest Financial' as a grader -- do you have pictures of the slabs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tradrodz Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 That was my other concern, I've never heard of them either. I tried uploading some pictures but for one reason or another I'm unable too. I'll try again after work. The set did come in a green box labeled pcgs, but I did imagine the coins would be graded by pcgs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmetheBUcoins! Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 i've heard of milk spots developing on canadian maples and its strange how modern bullion coins seem to tone so readily. Hope you didn't pay a hefty premium for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
