<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 21225095, member: 112&quot;]Here&#039;s the thing, when you dip a coin that has milk spots on it, the milk spots simply remain. In other words they are not affected at all and remain unchanged. There have even been tests/experiments conducted where the coin was dipped longer than it should be to the point that luster was stripped from the coin. And the milk spots still remained unchanged.</p><p><br /></p><p>On top of that the mint itself, well aware of the issue, tried for years to resolve the issue and solve the problem. They tried many different rinses, they tried water rinses after the planchet cleaning rinse - nothing changed. Short story, they tried everything they could think of and nothing worked. Still today they have not figured out a solution. Nor have any of the other mints in the world for they have all tried to find a solution.</p><p><br /></p><p>We also have to remember that whatever cleaning rinse is being used, all the planchets go through the same rinse, the same process. But the milk spots only appear on a limited number of coins. Given that, if it was the rinse causing the problem one would think that a great many more coins would be affected.</p><p><br /></p><p>Add to all of this that even those professionals with the most knowledge of how to properly clean/conserve coins have tried everything they know how to do, and nothing works - the milk spots remain unchanged.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve not seen any or heard of any. But I think it stands to reason that in all the years this issue has existed that somebody somewhere has tried it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
