john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 3:27 pm Totally disagree if the other major mints in the world can in the most of time create blemish free bullion coins why can not the RCM, just pride alone should drive them to prevent this issue. Arrogant passive to complaints leads to many large corporations going bankrupt, although this can not happen to RCM it has started layoffs.

pocket change 50 Pillar of the Community Canada 1751 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 4:26 pm John is correct, take the time to do it right! Other mints Too me it is wasting a good design on a mediocre product. The RCM is always boasting how its the best. They should up hold that reputation, instead their bullion has a reputation world wide for milk spots. This is causing many collectors to stay away. I read on a number of bullion board and the spots are always raised, when talking about Canadian bullion. Lets face it the mint has gotten plain greedy. Report this Post to the Staff
Pokermandude Pillar of the Community Canada 1192 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 6:43 pm The bullion coin - collector coin spectrum has piece as all points. Currently, you can buy generic 1 oz silver rounds for around $22-23 CDN, 1 oz maples for around $24. These are the bullion end, mass produced in the tens of millions. As you get into the semi-collectible, lower mintage coins such as Mexican Libertads, British Britannias, Chinese Pandas, Australian Kookaburras, you get a higher quality coin (generally no milk spots), but it will cost $26-40 per coin. These are produced more slowly and carefully, hence the extra premium over the intrinsic metal value. Even Pandas at 8 million produced per year cost upward of $30 each. 3 or more times the premium of silver maples. Getting into the full on collector coins at $50+ per ounce, they will look pretty and rarely if ever get milk spots. Report this Post to the Staff
john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 7:02 pm The Sunshine mint creates the gold planchets for US mint probably most of the silver ones too rarely hear about milk issues. The RCM should send their rinse expert to do some fact finding tours and correct the simple problem or simply out source like the US mint. All the private bullion wafer or rounds producer with the lowest premiums do not have milk spot issues. Report this Post to the Staff

pocket change 50 Pillar of the Community Canada 1751 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 10:49 pm Wow never heard talk of US bullion with the dreaded spots, are they the eagles or something else. Usually the other countries are pretty smug about not being plagued with spots. Report this Post to the Staff
