First Ive heard about milk spots on stock horses. I had 20 of the 2013s and they were all fine. Pics or it didnt happen.
LOL. Pics or it didn't happen. That is a good one. First off, trust me it happened. And second, I unloaded as soon as I saw them. I have another roll of 20, and I ain't opening that one up...that will be unloaded as a whole roll when the time is right...hopefully for 20K. hehehe. But trust me, it had spots...albeit, not like snow, but two of them on the obverse. Sorry to burst the PM bubble, but it is a reality...it even happens with PM coins.
It was a F2F deal, I quickly rejected the spotted ones and exchanged for the ones that are lactose-intolerant. Don't have photos with me. Milk spots on Pam bullion is very ugly, especially on the mirrored surface (queen side). Milk spots on PM silver bullion is not common due to its limited mintage. Say only 5% are affected that's only 15k kooks and 500 stock horses. Reported occurrence of spotted maples and eagles are much higher due to higher mintage (70 mil).
Just examined the contents of my tube and there are zero milkspots. A few dings and scratches on the rims which I would expect but no sign of spottiness. No pubes or stray cling wrap either. Bought new from Goldstackers on cybermonday whenever that was. Is it worth dropping a desiccant pouch in the top of the tube to possibly prevent future toning or discolouration?
Reports are that these will and have milked ... Was always an almost certainty given the minting process seems to have changed from regular pm minting... Whatever the cause we know have the effect... Still prefer to 3 1966 50c coins?
Just curious. How did you do it ie spot cleaning or submerse the whole coin in the acetone? Did the acetone affect the finish of the coin at all?
