Just how big of a problem are "milk spots" on slabbed MS69 SAE's? (And will the 2005 Mint

Milk Spots on 25th Ann. ASE Proofs...Advice Needed!
I have some sets of the 25th Anniversary Eagles in PCGS holders and noticed today after putting them out of sight for four months that some of the Proof Ws are developing spots. Bummer....both of my PR70s and one 69 have spots. I didn't notice any on the reverse proofs or other coins. Needless to say, I'm super bummed as I…
