Sounds like a reasonable estimate, Doug. Ironically, I have about 100 silver coins and only 1 has milk spots (the one I bought in 2014 minted in 2014).

Although my raw Canadian Moose coin has toned a dark blue/black.

The Mint(s) must have done research on this, to get back to my earlier question, if you haven't gotten a Milk Spot by 3 ? 5 ? 7? years would you say you were in the clear ?

 

I don't think so. From what people have reported, spots seem to show up after a change in holder. The spots showed up after being sent in for grading or after being removed from mint packaging.

 

Well, I bought mine in 2014 and it's minted in 2014. I am pretty sure it didn't have the milk spot then. I stopped looking at the set a few months later.

Seems that if you go 1-2 years without spotting, you're safe.

 

Not completely but yes you will have a better chance of being fine and a number that were going to spot will be showing them by then

 

Wanna buy a 1987 spot-free ?
