Yes, they all get milk spots sooner or later. But people are still buying them, well im not anymore. Learned the hard way also.
Guess all mine are going airtites, pita, but if it keeps them clean. They've been spotted on maples too.
Nah, won't help. My bet is eventually they get them. ALL of them will get spots....eventually!! Just get rid of them, and buy kooks, and your mind will be at peace.
Any word back from the mint on what happened. They are seriously damaging their brand by making milk spot free claims that they can't back up.
This is the genius behind releasing that kind of information through the rumor mill rather than an official press release... What are you talking about we never made that claim.
Not genius at all. Maybe clever by half, which is worse than not clever. What they have done is alienate loyal customers. I don't think anyone is questioning JF's credibility. But will anyone believe any statements or rumors originating from the RCM?
I'm floored that more and more folks have not rebelled and said, 'enough.' But folks continue on buying. The mint is obviously doing something wrong. Get pointers from the best in the world...the PM. Geesh.
from what I read off the Internet (unverified source), milk spots are caused by cleaning agents like Borax being deposited on the silver blanks. Somehow quality control was being compromised in order to push out silver blanks in a quicker pace... the blanks are not rinsed properly and these cleaning agents got baked onto the silver blanks when they are sent to the oven... That was what I read... no idea if it is true. I read on Chinese coin forum that someone sent their spotted graded silver panda to NCS for restoration, it came back spotless but later on it grew spots again. Milk spots are like herpes... once you got them they will reappear when your silver is weak, and once a while you will see outbreaks! :lol:
