Those are not milk spots, during the antiquing process the coins need to be submerged in a solution. Spots can form on the coin if there are air bubbles left on the surface of the coin during this process.

Today is the first time I opened this thread because, to be honest, I didn't really understand all the fuss over this set. But I saw it mentioned a few times in other threads so curiosity got the best of me.

I speak as a collector, I don't buy coins to flip, resell or for investment ... I just buy them because I like them.

Back when the first (I think) Moon Mask came out in 2008 I wasn't too impressed with it, the red lips reminded me of those wax lips we'd buy as kids. And the next one in 2009 didn't look any better. When I heard the references to the Gold Moon Mask I assumed everyone was talking about those ones and this set was the same design in silver.

When I saw the first pictures in this thread I began to understand all the fuss and by the time I got to the later pics I was awestruck (no offense to anyone else's pics, because if you had to rely on a picture I took no one would like this coin lol.) This is one of, if not the, nicest coin design I've seen from the RCM. I couldn't stop looking at them and have gone back to those pages a few times. No matter which coin I looked at, it was my favourite.

This is a coin that could get me back to collecting NCLT, but today's warm weather exposed a leaky roof and new coin purchases just aren't in the cards.

Congrats all you collectors who took the leap and ordered a set, I think you have yourself a beautiful set of coins!

I think, return 1 set, and the other spare leave if budget allows for re-sale. Not now, but later.

Thanks, sound like a good plan.
On the bright side, I can pick out a perfect set before sending back?
I forgot who's paying for the return shipping? I'm in USA.

I think they only pay return shipping if the coin has a defect, I could be wrong though , you have 30 days to return them if you decide you don't want an item but not sure who pays for the shipping in that case.

By the slimmest of margins, the Antiqued one. When I look at the pic with all 3 my eyes are drawn to that one.
