The milk spots won't fade. They are the bullion coin collector's worst nightmare.
Rest in Peace

Milk spots are dreaded. Even those in TPG holders can and do develop them. The vast majority of non-bullion collectors won't touch them once spots appear.

True - I returned a few PCGS MS69 Silver Eagles that had milk spots on them even though the sellers pictures showed clear bright silver coins

It is such a shame the mints have not figured out how to stop this.

They won't fade, but not everything people call "milkspots" are actually milkspots.

To be honest, none of them are actually caused by milk, right?

Right, that's why "milkspots" is in quotation marks, to indicate they are called that, not what they actually are.

So many of my 1 oz. silver bullion coins have developed milk spots.
And no, as others have mentioned they do not fade.
But I keep buying them anyway......
