Very,very nice. Would an acetone dip be warranted? Do not dip it until other members say it would be safe to do so. Being a proof coin shouldn't matter but still wait for input. John1

Thanks for the comments. I had already dipped the coin in pure acetone to remove the haze. It looks a whole lot better.

I've got an older model ELIKLIV scope.., but the lighting is the most important part as you know. I use a combination of the tube light, natural light, the side goose neck lights and a small LED hand held. It can sometimes get very frustrating especially when dealing with the proofs. I think another factor that helps is I place a bright white piece of heavy paper on the base of the scope to help reflect light. On real bright coins, I sometime use a light filter ,lens adaptor from an old camera. Sorry if this is too much information. Again..thanks for all the comments.
