CoinCanuck94 Pillar of the Community Canada 644 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 12:29 am Hey guys, I got my ANA Privy SML in the mail today and when I looked at the coin for the first time I noticed two white circles above the "OZ" and "A" on the reverse. Are these the infamous milk spots that are common on SMLs? Or is this an error of some sort? Would it be possible to remove them just by using a lens cloth? Thanks! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

When you will see one of them, you will immediately understand, that this is "milk spot" But these looks like not less defective. I would advice to replace the coin. Send it back to RCM (although I didn't see this defect previously, and you might decide to keep it as it is). Report this Post to the Staff

I would not clean it with anything. The RCM has a great return policy so I'd go that route if your not happy with the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCanuck94 Pillar of the Community Canada 644 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 11:06 am Thanks for the responses guys! Yeah the circles are definitely on the coin. I think it may have been formed naturally as the coin was being made but I'm not entirely sure. I'm going to keep it for now until I see another coin come up with the same spots. If not, then I guess I've got a pretty unique coin! Report this Post to the Staff
