[QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1278048, member: 28451"][b]Milk Spots?[/b] I just received my Cougars from Provident Metals. Both of them had milk spots under a lighted loupe (1 was really large.) I had the same thing with the Timber Wolves, also from Provident Metals. I didn't have any on the Grizzlies, which I purchased from a dealer on ebay. Did anybody else who purchased these have the same issue? I know Maple Leafs have a reputation of being spotted. Also, in the past, I have had them on Mexican Libertads and Somalian Elephants. I'm trying to decide whether, in the future to keep purchasing from Provident or to look elsewhere, unless it's just something inherent with quality control at the Canadian Mint. In terms of the Cougars themselves, they look a little better in person than in the illustration, but still not all that great. My order of preference is still the Timber Wolf far and away, the Grizzly a distant second and the Cougar a distant tenth.........oh; I mean third.[/QUOTE]
