I just bought this coin and it is a work of beauty. 

Truly an amazing coin- I can share photos when home

How do I change this thread to the silver section?

Looks great, did you buy it from Hong Kong so?

[Rgcoins]

Yeah bought it from HK

[kimchi]

Looks super!

Just store it carefully to avoid/inhibit the dreaded milk spots from the RM.

Looks lovely, one of my fav coins but I've got some bullion that are starting to spot:(

RM told me that the proof oriental borders are limited to LPM. RM not selling

None of my Royal Mint silver 'special' Brits have spotted (anniversary, oriental etc - the ones that come in caps).

Maybe I store them 'right' (?) or maybe I am just 'lucky' so far...or it hasn't been enough time...

My question is - does anyone have Orientals that have spotted yet?

Yet 

it’s still early 

give them another year or so , even if vacuumed you will still get some sort of spot but just not as horrible as leave them out  

protection isn’t always 100%😏

All fair points, but still doesn't answer my question

Has anyone seen a spotted Oriental Brit that's been stored correctly and has spotted?

Cheers!

give them s little bit more time it’s stoll early yea 

next year about same time u will see these flying around in forum or become firing bars 

if there is a odds for betting probably 1/20 fav for milk spot

I've just for back from hols but I'll try and post some pics of the orientals I have that have spotted. One is so bad the whole front of the coin is mottled with a ripple wash effect, very disappointing.

[kimchi]

Oh blimey, another one bites the dust then lol.

[terakris]

So pics are as always hard to take, but here is what i have spotted so far:

And the worse one....

 

These have all never been out of their capsules, and are stored in a box with anti tarnish strips and silicar gel.

I have more vacuum packed but these are not easy to get to so haven't check those yet.

is 2018 the only year with a proof version? I could not find any for 2019 and for 2020 it might be too early. This series is so small they could have issued the other years in proof as well.

Someone just sign posted me to this post. I've got myself a 2018 proof oriental and want to know. When did they first start? Are they all available in proof etc.
