All the talk of dipping hazed proofs got my nerve up and I decided to go for it. I relied on the one second dip and washing in mass quantities of distilled water.
I dipped a 1957 and 1959 quarter with similar results. Here is before and after images of the 1957. It worked wonders and I cannot see any effect other than the haze is gone.
I now have two fully brilliant proofs that should grade easily if I wanted to get it done. Exact same coin under exact lighting conditions (scanned with HP ScanJet 4890).
