<p>[QUOTE="Ana Silverbell, post: 3925818, member: 75156"]One source (Rick Tomaska- not sure which book) says that milk spots are soap residue left on the planchet because the planchets were not properly rinsed to remove all the soap. The soap residue is then permanently struck into the coin during the minting process creating the white spots. They cannot be removed, they are part of the coin. I have seen a coin with a milk spot that covered nearly the entire obverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
