[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4079793, member: 112"]Yeah, sometimes they are, but a whole lot of the time they aren't round at all. I've seen lots of streaks, even seen examples where most of an entire side of the coin has turned red, the same red as so called copper spots. Read some of the posts I've made about gold toning, and yeah, it does tone. As for thinking about the impurities being stretched out during rolling, if ya really wanna get confused, try thinking about the coin in the 3rd dimension - thickness. And then try to imagine how the impurities just happened to end up in the very top layer of the metal so that they are even visible at all when they show up - especially in metal that is .999 or .9999 pure. And milk spots on silver, they're not always exactly round either. They're kinda sorta round shaped but I've seen tear drop shaped, irregular blob shaped, and round shaped all on the same coin at times, or separately. The reward is for safely removing milk spots - not for preventing them. And not to be picky but the reward was originally $25,000, not $50,000. And unless they've upped it in recent years, it still is.[/QUOTE]
