    As pictured, milky white spots that develop on Mint products after a period of time....both MS and PR products... and generally cannot be removed. Cheers, RickO

    Have any milk spotting problems been reported for the 5-oz. silver America the Beautiful quarters? They are also struck in .999 silver.

    This!

    And these spots have been occuring for a very long time and usually on Silver US Mint Products.

    I do not know about the 5 oz coins but I expect no since these planchets are not produced the same way as a standard US Mint product such as Silver Eagles and Kennedy Half Dollars.

    Indications are that its some type of incorrect rinse which leaves some type of residue on the coins surface but todate, nothing has been specifically tied to this occurance. It's all just speculation,
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
