Reports of milk spotting on 20th Ann. SAE's - How come the US Mint...
....has this Milk Spot problem? Can anyone post an example of this happening on a Brittania, Kangaroo, Panda, Maple leaf, etc? If you can find an example I'd like to see it.

If I'm not mistaken, with milk spots, what ever the problem is, happens before the strike, and therefore the spot is struck into the surface of the coin. which like a time bomb ticks away and then one day appears and is not removeable. If that's not accurate I'm open for clarification. -

Hi Mitch. I personally believe the problem is in the drying process of the metal strips. After the wash and rinse they are improperly dried. They sit there and air dry instead of forced air drying.

I have a few panda's that have developed a Haze that looks like the spots only over the entire coin. -

I do not know the root cause, but I do know that it does not happen to all ASE's. I have seen many examples posted here on the board. I do not have any on my ASE's. This seems very strange to me.. since it is an issue so widely discussed. I have again looked very carefully at ALL my sets (three) and random pieces... NO…
