   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.

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

   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…
