Piccolo1r New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 11/13/2016 7:21 pm Are there any collectors out there that have had problems with milk spots on Australian silver coins? I like to collect world silver coins with animals on them, and I have seen so many beautiful silver Australian coins. The reason I ask is because I have been burned bad by Canadian silver coins that develop milk spots over time. I also collect American Silver Eagles, and I have never had a problem with milk spots.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/21/2016 03:24 am I am not into NCLT proof Australian silver, but I have seen the occasional milk spot on them. I think the R.A.M. (and perhaps the Perth Mint as well), may have addressed this issue in more recent packaging. Hard acryllic, fully sealed individual capsules for proof coins offer the best protection. Openable screw capsules are not as quite secure (as per Royal Mint) offer a loewr standard, simply because the capsules ARE openable. Report this Post to the Staff

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 11/21/2016 06:03 am I don't think that the bullion coins get the same carful treatment that the numismatic proofs do. This is probably why the bullion coins are prone to contamination. Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 11/21/2016 11:28 am I subscribed to this topic because I have had (and might still have) milk spots on old Australian silver coins, especially those of George V. Why do they occur and what can be done about them ? Report this Post to the Staff

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 11/21/2016 7:25 pm The spots weren't there when the coin was graded. https://www.NGCcoin.com/certlookup/3914842-002/ So it looks like they appear later on Report this Post to the Staff
