I emailed CC & C and voiced my concern. I received a response on Friday.
For the stains, I was told "all the coins have this in varying degrees (not stained). It is simply the residue from a clear coat used by the MINT to protect the surface edge of the coins. This should not affect the future value of your set."
Based on the explanation above, I decided to keep this coin.
@MoneyPenney
You are right. The "stains" might be the residue from the production.
My only concern is if the residue would hurt the coin value (or grade). Based on the explanation from CC & C and your observation, the answer is no. So I will keep this coin.
Thank you for your advice!

If so, would you see something similar to some degree on the other two coins in the set? Or is this something specific to the production of this particular coin?

If a dealer You bought a car from told you that all cars of that make and model have scratches on the hood as a result of the production procedure, would you be satisfied with the explanation?

The other two coins in the set ("150th Anniversary of Confederation" and "1867 Confederation") don't have the same problem. I haven't found any imperfections with these two coins. The only issue is the capsule of the "150th Anniversary of Confederation" coin is impossible to close completely. I'm worried the pins inside might cause scratches on the coin's rims, if I press the capsule too hard to close it completely. For unknown reasons, I have had lots of problems with the coin "1927 Diamond Jubilee of Canadian Confederation." To recap my previous posts, below are the problems: Delivery 1: Stains Delivery 2: Broken pin, white spot (photo below for white spot), but no stains Delivery 3: Stains and broken pin  The white spot is certainly an imperfection that would hurt the coin's grade (and value). The stains, on the other hand, may not be an imperfection, or may be cleaned, if they are indeed residue from RCM. |

I'm not sure if the car scratch analogy is appropriate. For example, a scratch definitely hurts car value, while a little residue may not hurt the coin value. Even if the analogy is appropriate, what I can do about it? I have two options: 1) ask for another replacement, and 2) return the whole set of 3 coins. For the option 1, I think most of us here would agree that the next replacement will be more or less the same, based on the prior 3 deliveries. For the option 2, I don't want to return the two other coins. Therefore, unless this coin is in bad condition, I won't return the whole set. |

Any stain will surely degrade a coins value, the broken pins or capsule has no bearing on grade, if you can live with it it's okay but these NCLT are suppose to be near perfect. not with some manufacturing residue, that is a crock excuse, if you can see it with a naked eye it is a problem.

What I meant is if the car dealer says the cars all come with a scratch and it doesn't effect the value, would you believe them? Surely a scratch on the hood would effect the value. How is the coin different? Personally, I'd prefer a flawless coin over one with a stain, residue, misaligned plating etc. Quality control must remain priority number 1. NCLTs from the RCM should come problem free, with fantastic quality for the premium being paid. Virtually all coins released in the last several years have lost value, and having poor quality will only do more damage. |

@john100 and @Redzapsid
I agree with you. The coin should be perfect; that's why I returned it twice.

The infamous "milk spots'. The reason I stopped buying Canadian Silver. And I'm Canadian.
