Krugerrand milk spots

Hi everyone, today I took ownership of 25 silver krugerrand 2019, all brand new straight from dealer, these are the only 25 I will most likely ever buy just to diversify my stack a bit. Any ways upon inspection 3 of them have already have milk spots on! Is this quite common on them? or is it grounds to ask for an exchange for 3 others? 

only pictured one of them and you can notice it just under the E the other 2 coins have similar sized spots. 

Thanks all! 

Dan

Very common problem with many fine silver coins.
Luck of the draw if your silver doesn't have any spots these days, although quite rare with some mints, but very common with the Canadian and UK mints.

Unless you paid over the odds for them I doubt you will get any positive outcome from a dealer but if you paid a premium then give it a go.

Yes that can be annoying.
I've seen some pretty awful stuff with over half the surface milk stained not just the odd spot.
I've also seen some pretty beat up Britannias directly from our Mint with reeded dings, bad abrasions and pitting.
Unfortunately with bullion you take a chance and it is poor quality control in some mints but all they guarantee is weight at the end of the day.
Out of more than a thousand American Eagles I haven't seen a single spot and likewise from Australian mints - Perth and Royal Mints.
Some of my nice Queens Beast coins are showing small spots and this series is deemed one of the current best for collectors.
