[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 2546823, member: 29012"]RCM has been notorious about milk spotting for years, because they don't adequately clean their dies. For CMLs it doesn't really matter, since they're not a semi-numismatic play, but for their wildlife coins it definitely impacts the resale value making something potentially collectible into just a bullion coin. There are ways to mitigate the milk spotting. They're like invisible ink, and generally don't show up until exposed to a humid environment. So if you plan to pop your tube, make sure to capsule them right away. You can also clean milk spotting with a pencil eraser or jewelry wipes, but these will cause tiny scratches and while they could help general resale value they will hurt any potential grading. The safest way to clean these is with a product called "cloudy ammonia" AKA household ammonia cleaner.[/QUOTE]
