As a mint produces more, their costs rise ! Machinery, labour, marketing, tax etc. , and then they get drunk on revenue. Then add the cost of borrowing to grow. Someone comes along and notices that they can economise on production costs by just washing the dyes, yeah. So they paint the process in detergent, creates a milk spot, sales are still up, so who gives a rats ? Now, it's still a one ouncer, so the purchaser has the metal, but the real customers are peeved. They, (the mint, manufacturer) don't care, why would they, as the coin is sold, and wages are going up. You need to stop milk spots ? Stop supporting them !
Fully agree But have you seen PM milk spots recently. I can't find any on coins released after 2016. On the other hand many silver proofs 2012 to 2016 have the pox
Milk spots - think many of them on 2 oz Lunar 3 mouse coins. Just look at Queen's face. I saw many of such coins. 2 previous years of Lunar 2 coins were not good too. They are not as nasty as on RCM products. They look more like fog to me. But anyway...
