<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 26821859, member: 41780&quot;]No, the milk spot is not inside the coin, but the silver chloride, or other contaminant, causing the milk spot could be embedded within the coin as the planchet is pressed by the die. This contaminant could become exposed as the outer layer is stripped, in theory.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is my understanding that toning can absolutely cover up a milk spot on a silver coin. Again, stripping away the toning can make a milk spot &quot;reappear&quot; according to my online sleuthing. You&#039;ll notice that these milk spots are almost always on bright white uncirculated coins. This means the toning is concealing it on circulated coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
