I realize that this is bullion, but a good number of people collect Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins, so I am posting this here.

Time will tell..

I was hoping there was a solution for coins that already had milk spots.

"Determined to get to the bottom of the elusive white spot problem"

The RCM has actively been ignoring this issue for years. It can be considered a positive now that they have finally seemed to address the situation - however they qualify it by saying it is only a "significant reduction" - not elimination of the issue. I wonder given how long they took to address the issue what their definition of "significant" really is. Other mints have not had this issue to nearly the degree of the RCM.

It will be a long time before I invest any more $$$ with the RCM - yes I feel as I have been "burned" so to speak and have since moved on to other collectable bullion coins that never have milk spots and hold or increase in value compared to SML coins. There are many other posts on this forum about how collectors feel the RCM is not doing any favours to the hobby - this may be another.

Maybe RCM should collaborate with some other mints which do not have the spots to compare processes rather than spinning their wheels. Just a thought

Why would a competitor want to Improve on RCM products?

Without milkspots, the Maples will be collectible.
People will collect the type sets of them and variety.
Also the graded (and sealed) SMLs will be accepted as no risky.
That can push the prices up, since the demand will be big.

Well...very optimistc scenario. Let's see first, will RCM be able to manage with the spots in reality and not in the theory.
