trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 11:34 am I've got a little free time right now so I'm working on my photo skills & pulling out some coins I put back last year. I've got 3 of these 1904-O Morgans that all have the same look. I'm not sure if it's toning or scunge on the coins. I'm looking for grade, photo & "what's the scunge" opinions.

trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 06/28/2012 3:08 pm I bought a collection from an estate last year that had 2 full rolls of 1904-O Morgans. There were a few that had this haze on them so I set them aside thinking I'd try acetone when I had more time. Somehow they moved from my sale inventory into my personal collection & I forgot I had them. Long story short, I haven't tried acetone.....yet. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't know what causes the haze, maybe airborne contaminants. It is possible to remove it but that may reveal hidden imperfections. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 06/29/2012 12:20 am MS63 might be good for a dip to remove the haze, I doubt acetone would do much, but I'd try that first, as a silver dip can make a coin worse real quick, without the hae this coin might make a MS64. A common date so maybe it's worth a try. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
