[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1565949, member: 112"]No one has as of yet discovered what causes milk spots, but there are theories. From what I have read, the mint has no idea what causes them either. And to date, none of their experiments or testing has been able to prevent them. Nor has any way ever been discovered to remove them. PCGS once offered a $25,000 reward to the first person that could figure out a way to remove them without harming the coin. To my knowledge that reward offer still stands. There are many peculiarities about milk spots. They do not always appear on the coin right away. Sometimes months or even a year after the coin was minted and then even slabbed, the spots mysteriously appear. And they can grow worse with time, or not.
