I'm looking for a relatively new series coin that releases new coins yearly. A series were I don't have to reach to far back in terms of year first coin in the series was minted. I'm looking for low premium silver and not the ridiculous limited 2000 mintage for just $90 a coin.
I thought of the predator series, new series, well known Canadian mint. Only problem is the milk spots. Ive seen videos of people pulling out slabbed 25th aniversary mapple leafs ms70 from storage only to find really bad milk spots after a few years of storage. So Canadian series seem to be to risky.
Thanks for any recommendations on relatively new series, low premium, without milk spots :)

A series that hasn't been around for that long is the Austrian Philharmonic Silver coins (since 2008) in good mintage quantities. I may recommend that one. It's being released annually and is the biggest bullion series of Europe right now.
Otherwise, try a Chinese Panda Silver coin. It's much a bigger challenge, though. Minted since 1983, although quantities are limited to some proof sets until 1989. There are also some years without any mints. Furthermore, there are a few varieties in some years: some coins are for the domestic market (D mintmark) and others for the international market (no mintmark) for 2001, while 1994 has coins with small and large dates. 1998 saw some proof coins with a gold insert in addition to regular coins.

Queen's Beast is the best. You should get some gold and silver coins.

'Queens beasts' started this year, so it may be a good choice. Silver coins come as 2 troy ounce. Like with the Austrian (or officially Vienna) Philharmonic, there are also gold coins. In this case two coins (1 ounce and 1/4 ounce) of gold, where the Vienna Philharmonic has more varieties, from 1/25th of a troy ounce up to 1000 troy ounce of pure gold (that coin's called 'Big Phil' and has a bullion value of over 1.25 Million USD. As the mintage was just 15 pieces, I guess the actual price is a tad higher).

For 1 oz. silver bullion I like the new Perth Mint series. 2014 was a salt water crocodile 2015 was a funnel web spider I haven't heard what 2016 will be but the first two do not have a "crazy" premium yet. |

You've basically talked yourself out of most every series. You can go with the "off brand" stuff that recently started like Congo Ape or Burundi Lion. Not much collector interest in them as yet. Perth Mint has a great series called the Australian Stock Horse that started in 2013 (not too long ago). The first year will cost you a pretty penny, but 2014 and on can be had in the high $30s to mid $40s if you look around. You can wait a few years and get in at the start of Perth's Lunar Series 3 |

With the Annually changing design, great quality could advice the "Koala" series from 2007. The years 2007 and 2008 only has significant premium, but it's all.
"Australian Wedge Tailed Eagle" - started in 2014, amazing one, I believe in US will not be difficult to find (slabbed though and not raw)
UK The Queens Beasts - as people mentioned - very promising series.
