The blame lies squarely with the manufacturer and their production process aimed at churning out quantity over quality as cheaply as possible. There is no pride the product, just a relentless pursuit of profit. You know what they think of collectors? They see a sucker, a source of profit.
It is there fault Pete. They know full well after all this time there has been a issue for years. They should dump the products of these mints, or send back inventory. If not, start sourcing a product from certain mints that guarantee that their silver is free of impairment. You rarely find a milk spotted coins from the RAM even on 999 silver they sell. So it's possible that coins can be manufactured milk free. Honestly, they should dump their dealerships and move on. And there is something called integrity ! This is not just Perth Bullion, it's across the board. I know Perth Bullion have copped it in this thread, but other dealers are at fault also. There is not even a disclaimer mentioning that there is possible cause of milk spotting on their websites. As long as there are dealers out there who continue to take in orders and sell at all costs, then there is no reason for the mints to stop manufacturing crap. The buck stops with the dealers.
Yes there is dipstick!
Nicks, scratches or white blemishes may appear from time to time as part of the production process, this is considered normal.

Can you also find that disclaimer on the ultra relief and the koalas mentioned in the thread or the myriad of other coins listed on their site or other dealers sites ( apart from Maples ) ? The general public would really really benefit from your wisdom.
