cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2273 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 10:44 pm There's a good chance the haze will come off in alcohol/ acetone. The black spots probably will not. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 11:04 pm Just toning here, try and acetone soak to see what will come off. Collecting since 1972.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 07:23 am Fingerprint oils would have left fingerprints. Try 100% pure acetone and se what if anything happens. I do not think the album is to blame either. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19221 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 07:33 am I think I know the answer to this... What do the surrounding coins look like? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 07:41 am You just stole my question Ijn.. I just woke up and was gonna ask that same exact thing. Collecting since 1972.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 08:29 am An environmental issue of some sort for sure - perhaps caused by elements in the album's construction. Report this Post to the Staff

Dutch-Tigger Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 12:45 pm My take on the folders being at least partially to blame is based on FTW's statement of the coins being in the Dansco for decades, so I take in consideration the material used Decades ago. Report this Post to the Staff
bclift New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 3:24 pm Top picture looks as if it was on its way for some beautiful toning! But to get rid of it try a little dip with some Ezest. People will tell you it ruins coin (which I disagree if you follow directions) But in in your mind it's ruined anyway what's the difference? At least it will be nicer to look at and all you're really doing is preserving it. Acetone may be good for dirt or oil build up but rarely if ever for haze or toning. if it were me I'd probably put it back in the album comeback to it in a couple years and see if it had some great eye appealing toning.

My oldest Dansco albums are almost 40 years old, nothing like this has happened to the coins in them.

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2286 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 4:20 pm There is only 1 other coin in the album with this haze toning, but it wasn't as severe. The rest are all good. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Edited by NumismaticsFTW 07/03/2023 4:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189603 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 4:25 pm I agree it may have been something already on the coin and time allowed it to progress to what you see. It would be interesting to see if acetone (or alcohol) had any affect on its appearance.
