THE GREAT SILVER MAPLE REVEAL (Will they or won't They)

[Keithoil]

Ladies & Gentlemen.

 

The idea is to guess how many (if any) of the 25 1oz 2014 Silver Maple Leaf Coins will have any of the dreaded Milk spots when opened.

 

I will post a video of the reveal in the middle of December, (Video size permitting). If not then hi quality images.

 

From the picture you can see they were vacuum sealed on the 6th April 2014. I will check the seal for tightness and report back late next week. I think there may also be an oxygen scavenger sachet just inside the lid, but not too sure.

 

Have a go it’s just for fun, unless you would like to pledge something to a charity of your choice, depending on the outcome when they are opened.

 

I will compile a list with peoples name in and post the guesses before I load the video and/or images.

 

So I think a good closing date for this would be Friday December 12th 2014 at 23:59.

 

Go on have a guess.

[watchesandwhisky]

I'm going to say 13 will be spotted:)

[silversword]

16 spotted would be a reasonable expectation, therefore my guess is 19.

[Cointreau]

What is the history of these coins? How long after receiving them did you seal them?

Have you opened the tube?

Whatever, I'm going low ball. Three them milk spotted.

[Paul]

I will go with NONE will be milk-spotted

Hi Cointreau

 

They were bought on the 11.1.14 from Celtic Gold. So allowing for delivery etc they were probably kept for around 5-6 weeks ish before being sealed.

 

I will have checked them to ensure they were OK and no major issues with them and then sealed them.

 

Hope this helps.

[Cointreau]

This is much more fun than guess the spot price.

Not sure sealing the coins matter. More like how they were minted.

Does the winner get a milk spotted maple?

[Keithoil]

Mmmmmm Not sure on that one!!!

I'll go for 6, I had a look at a couple tubes of  my own maples a few months ago 2010&11 one had 7 milkys the other 8.

 

I've also got a few in a plastic coin sheet with some ASEs and few Brits I bought off the local coin shop about 2 years ago and they are milk spot free 1994 & 1995

 

Weird.

Or the spot price of silver at the end of 2014.

[HighlandTiger]

I have faith in Keithoil. If he says none had milkspots BEFORE he sealed them, then I'm banking on there being NONE after he opens them.

 

Zero Milk Spots. 

[Keithoil]

Thats like saying you really have faith in the RCM.

[KevinG]

Probably the entire tube.

[Agpanda]

only 1 milky

[Shamatti]

20%

 

5 will be spotted.

 

Come on people, put your money where your moth is. I pledge €10 to a homeless charity in this area somewhere if I am wrong. For every coin over 5 I will add an additional €1. So if 10 are spotted I will add €5 etc...

 

How confident are you? Dare ya to make a bet, it's for charity after all, and it is (Will be) Christmas and all that! lol (Bah Humbug!!)

[Cointreau]

Ok, I pledge £10 to Centrepointrooms (for homeless youths) and one extra pound for every milky over or under three.

[watchesandwhisky]

£1 for each coin over or under my prediction to the Salvation army + £5

[Keithoil]

These are the current entries at the end of 24.10.14.
