True but its an issue they should be trying to resolve. I have plenty of RM coins without milk spots, most of which are from the 1990's to 2000's since 2010 it has become more and more an issue on coins I have bought that were made by them. If they can produce coins without the process is good and they have purified the metal well enough, if they haven't they should be actively melting it for bullion only and trying again. Or at least be changing their quality control methods so that they can pick up issues early and remove coins to be remelted and replaced with a good minted coin for proof issues.
The whole arms length check must go, how is it they can't bring a coin closer to their eyes in the same space of time to do a quality check, why arms length,

I'm avoiding, will pick up a 2015 restrike over this. 

I zoomed in, its a lovely coin but there is a big milky spot.
 
However, if you are OK with the milk spot enjoy your coin regardless of it's milky spot. I'm expecting mine to have some when it gets back from grading so I get to keep mine (outside of returns period now) and enjoy it milky spots or tarnish regardless. 

New arrival. Nice coin!

Oh how I would love them to increase the diameter of the 2oz and cut the thickness. I wish they had done this with the St George and the other coins, though I have my doubts they would do this.

I think there is another Oliver song that might be relevant here regarding the mint which also could be put under the Royal Mint pricing investigation discussion forum discussion. 
It seems the Mint likes to pick our pockets or two.

I left a comment on the video, however I will say it again here. 
Go to the press, make it public hold them to account with some public shaming more than social media can do. Once it's in the papers people will take more notice especially the government who runs them, it seems today the government is more interested in the courts of public opinion like alot of things in life the press hold massive influence on alot of issues. 

My 2oz arrived, oh boy is it awful. Edge issues like alot of coins, marks on the obverse that looks like some sort of smudge mark, particles on the reverse and possible milk spots to boot. 
Send it back i will, demand a restrike I must.

I would hope they wouldn't have the same issues for the smaller mintage. 
The arms length quality check is a joke, it doesn't take much to bring the coin closer to the face and see the issues. An arms length check for quality is stupid as no one checks a coin at arms length especially if you want toncheck out the details of the fields and devices. 
 
The mint has to change. New leadership, reforms of quality checks, produce less, increase quality and make sure they are not working for a bottom line and they will increase reputation.

Thanks, I have acually reached out to my MP for a meeting. Will see where the land lies if that ever comes to pass.

I want to but some members of that group don't get along well with some members on here and I don't want to make more issues for myself and other parties or naming names etc. 

If you are grading it won't affect the grade....apparently according to ngc as its a mint production issue rather than post production. However if you are wanting a perfect coin I would return it if that's what you want. Personally I have 3 coins with such issues and I kept them, its kind of difficult when you live abroad to send things back due to the time frame for returns as they have to go through customs etc which eats into the time permitted. All coins with the issue were graded and while the gold coins scored 70 the third coin was silver and didn't score a 70 due to Royal Mint milk spots they lovingly placed on most of their silver just so I didn't feel left out.
