I've read a little bit about milk spot and such, so I decided to look through some of my coins and saw this.
2015-Eagle-Is-This-A-Milk-Spot?

I'm not sure if this is considered a milk spot or if I need better storage. I have all my bullion in plastic flips or airtites and they are closed up in a clean cigar box. I've had this particular coin since 2015 and this is the only time I've removed it from the flip. It is an APMEX flip if that means anything. I think I have a Perth Mint funnel web spider and a maple leaf (which I bought cheap because it had a couple milk spots, but looks different than my eagle). Any opinions are welcome.

Hi mailman.....it looks like a milk spot to me.
I am a collector of several world bullion sets and most will have some coins affected by this.
It happens in the bullion world and I have learned to just live with it as it is very common.
Rest in Peace

When white discoloration of this extent, it is no longer a spot, but a haze.

Cigar boxes can and do retain chemicals such as formaldehyde and sulfers and are a poor place to store coins.

Thanks for the information. I probably should find a different box for these instead of the cigar box then huh? The other eagles I bought along with this one seem fine. This one just has it bad.
