"Milk" type spots on Canadian silver?

That's because we like to make up things on this site. Milk spotting doesn't really exist. Sort of like the holocaust, evolution, climate change and the moon landing. I think the picture at the top of this thread was photoshopped and the original poster is just messing with us.

The Coin Analyst: Collectors Crying Over Milk-Spotted American Silver Eagles: http://www.coinweek.com/education/c...s-crying-milk-spotted-american-silver-eagles/

 

@silverbullion....Very informative article....it makes me wonder if there is a future market where milk spots would be collectible. At one time toned coins were considered taboo in numismatics and now command a premium over what I consider flawless examples of the same coin...its whatever the market/collectors will consider valuable. On the flipside the article also mentions that flawless ASEs and others may be rare in the future and command higher prices...who knows I just buy them for savings/investment (BU) and I don't really touch the proof ASEs except for a couple of coins.

 

Only the future will be able to tell with certainty, but I will be very surprised if milk spots get as popular as toning.

 

Anyone who deals with royal mint products on a consistent basis knows all too well about milk spotting.

Just google "milk spotting" there will be lots of info, most are complaints about the royal Canadian mint.

What's so bad about the 5 oz ATB pucks? Its too bad they put a boring portrait of George Washington on all of them but I'll still take it over the queens ugly mug every day. Especially since its highlighting a guy who stood for freedom rather than one who stood for tyranny.

 

If England and all of its minion countries would like to increase their bullion sales, I think it is just a matter of getting rid of Dizzy Lizzy and replacing her with Kate the Great.
