Milking on Newly Acquired Coins

I recently purchased the following 1 oz silver coins from an online dealer:

• 2023 Australian Kangaroo

• 2023 Australian Koala

• 2023 British Royal Mint Coronation

• 2023 British Britannia King Charles Coronation

• 2023 British Royal Arms

• 2023 Chinese Panda

4 of the 6 coins arrived with milk spots on the obverse and reverse. Only the Koala and Panda (both which come in mint-sealed capsules) arrived in mint condition as advertised. I'm a bit disappointed because the coronation coins are limited mintage and the Kangaroo is the last Queen Elizabeth coin in that series. I've been collecting coins for about 14 months now and these are the first coins in my growing collection to have any kind of defects or milking. What are the ramifications of the milking on the coin value?

HI DineWfl,
It does not change the amount based on the silver price which when it comes to standard bullion coins is what dealers would be working off when you come to sell
but obviously collectors or normal people who might buy them might not offer as much
Sadly  its normal nowadays for the coins to be milking up expecially from the royal mint
I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of the charles coronation & coronation britannia's it was much better than the usual terrible quality of the royal coat of arms for example but they are still milking up as quickly as you look at them
the australian kangaroo also has milking issues but not anywhere near as bad
basically when you come to sell to a dealer they will look at the silver price and make an offer based off that regardless
ps that order was not from me was it ?

Thanks for this. I was feeling a little deflated because of the milk spots. I purchased from a well-regarded American dealer. Seems like it just may be the Royal Mint and the Aussie Kangaroo being troublesome rather than dealer shenanigans.

But Milking really Peeves me off!!!!!! I have melted more royal mint products and Canadian and Australian ... than I care to think about.. at least it is art at the end of the day LOL

I am sorry though that your having this issue. I do know as a collector how frustrating it is.
