What is the best way to do this. I purchased a few @ Spot & they are in need of a bath.

milkspots???

Ya, Milkspots are like diamonds. They`re forever.

Simple,

Dip in E-Z-est for 2 to 3 seconds.

Thoroughly rinse in running water. Some folks use distilled water but I think its excessive. Gently shake off the excess.

Dip in 91% Isopropyl Alcohol, swishing the coin back and forth. Gently shake off the excess

Lay on a soft absorbant cloth and pat off the excess from both sides.

Let dry

I use plastic coin tongs for the entire process.

Just a word to the wise--eagles don't dip that well. Milkspots CANNOT be removed by dipping. No way, no how, no matter how long you dip (unless you leave it overnight and it eats away most of the coin). I had never dealt with the milk spotted eagle until I got a shipment from an east coast distributor. I tried everything to get them off. I was sure that there was some way to do it. I tried regular dip, acetone, even polished one with silver shine just to see. Nothing worked. No matter how detail I scrubbed away from the rest of the coin, the spots remained. In fact, I think I even created some new ones.

I have no experience with NCS or whatever it is. NGC's coin preservation/cleaning service. I have heard from some people it can remove them. I don't know. No home method has worked for me.

True but most of the time milk spots can be prevented with a dip followed by a good rinse.

why

I've heard that the milk spotting is related to some type of rinse that the US Mint uses for silver. It may be related to mass production of these coins and something does not get completely rinsed from the coins.

This is not isolated to SAE's as 40% Silver Eisenhowers and 90% Proof Kennedy Halves also develop milk spots.
