    ASE's are not the only World coins affected by the dreaded milk spots. Add the UK's Britannia's to that list.

    And pandas too...

    ...and like-type bullion?

    Seems the ASEs have been the most affected. Is that due to the .999 fineness? Makes me wonder with commemoratives and silver proof set coins from 2019 on now being .999.

    @dpoole Sorry to hear about yours! :(

    Things like the Buffalo dollars and Old Mint coins were/are struck from the same blanks as the ASEs, no? Any reason why they wouldn't be?

    The wrights silver cream will take those spots right off. Now we are talking a rub and not a dip so technically forget about MS70. I've lost count of the rolls of heavily milk spotted Maples and even a few Eagles that I purchased at melt gave them a quick rub then flipped with BU premium. Not even noticeable up to 10x.

    I ran across a video where it was said that the spots on Leafs were from borax and could be removed with "cloudy" ammonia.

    It was a joke. Lucky you were able to pass those altered pieces off to ignorant buyers!
    Actually, no luck was involved. Most folks prefer "shiny" to original when it comes to a coin. :(

    I revisited my 2006 three-piece proof set and all three eagles are spot free. Are raw OGP coins somewhat protected from milk spots? Does the process of opening the capsules and slabbing them aggravate the problem?
