    To be honest @shortstack68 i'm not sure why you are so bothered about this, i'm not and it's my purchase.
    There seems to be a running theme with any post i come across of yours, maybe try and post a few positive comments every 1/100?

    Collected my coin from BYBs group order from the post office this morning. My first ever 10 oz coin and a nice momento/reminder of lovely family vacations in Vancouver and Toronto recently.

    No milk spots so far [emoji41] although I'm not too concerned; I Wanted to add 10 oz and this appeals much more than a plan silver bar.

    A sheet of Five Cedis. 
    In comparison to the coin which must not be named, the strike and frosting is more pronounced revealing the Fourth Portrait from IRB on the coin. It also doesn't suffer from the decentred reverse dye and is a perfectly flat coin. 
    But, please don't hate, it may not be legal to sell this coin above face value according to Section 2 of the Ghana Currency Act 1964. So I should have only paid £0.90 for each of these...

    Its a great question and one I don't yet have the answer to sorry, but I am working on it! Since mining about £20 worth of the stuff (and buying some silver with it) I have set up an LCD energy meter on the plug to tell me how much my PC is using. The trouble is I use this PC for everything so its just a rough idea of cost, rather than completely accurate. When I am not using my PC for looking at shiny coins on here I am running nicehash miner making a few quid a week. Just have the one GPU, a 1070 GTX and get the CPU mining but it makes the system unstable and has crashed the PC a few times when I try to use it with the miner running in the background! 
    Like I said, its more a novelty thing, it has helped me understand a few things about the functional side of crypto and has been interesting and a very easy way to make a 'free' ounce of silver. Should have it in hand by the end of the week.

    I have cashed out of my latest gamble in bitcoin and bought 9 x 2017 silver Britannia from Bitgild. 1 of them was the 20 year anniversary coin which I paid for using the bitcoin my PC has mined over the past month. Add on the electricity bill for that one and we are looking at some expensive silver, but its a novelty thing I guess.

    Here goes but a warning this can cause scratches.

    I remove milk spots with a bit of toothpaste and gentle rubbing under dripping water. Anything more than gentle rubbing would leave scratches. I wouldn't recommend this for any proof coin, perfect for bullion coins that don't have a frosted or matt finish.

    I have tried to get milk spots out of some of my Perth mint sharks and kangaroos but the spots don't clean off well if they on a matt finish.

    Canadian maple coins older than 2014 clean very well with this technique.

    It can leave tiny scratches that can be seen under a loop with good lighting but it removes those milk spots so I guess making a big problem a smaller problem.

    Not sure if it will help John chiwoo wang.
