The jewelers cloth is not abrasive and the milk spots are gone. You may want to rethink that one. Even rubbing a MS coin like that will leave hair lines, jewelers cloth or not. The milk spots are little bits of corrosion, those get lodged in the cloth and then are smeared back and forth over the surface of the coin, leaving the abrasion marks. Now on an older circulated coin it would probably be harder to see, but a coin like this with nice surfaces, it will show in the light (or probably in a camera photo). The funny thing is that these bullion pieces may hold more value in the long run than a lot of older proof sets. The mintage on these are lower and if they ever catch the eye of the public (it seems like a lot of people are ignoring them now) there won't be as many to go around and I can see there being a numismatic premium on some of them.

Doesn't matter. Anything including the word "cloth" instantly trashes a Proof the moment it touches it. Just take the result out into bright sunlight. You'll see. And jeweler's cloth is going to contain something jewelers consider non-intrusive but it's lethal to original-surface coinage.
Like I said. Far better men than I can't figure a way, and the video is proof.

It's actually not a proof, it's an MS69PL (PCGS cert # 19582098). PCGS guide price is $340, however they regularly sell for about $200 to $225. Melt on it is only $81 so for those saying who cares it's only bullion, nope this one has (or rather had) numismatic value well above melt.  Edited by Tbone

That makes sense with the coin's appearance. MS69PL would be a ridiculously beautiful coin but not necessarily frosted. All the same, in near-fleur de coin Prooflike condition a Business Strike is going to take the same relative damage as a Proof.

Tbone, that's a very interesting chart, thanks. I had no idea those sold for that much more than melt. Now, I noticed you used dates about 6 months old when silver was about $18. This example also has the "coveted" First Strike designation.

That chart comes from PCGS CoinFacts. I'm thinking they don't have more current auction data to add yet.

I could say a lot about the video, but the first thing that struck me was that he almost scratched the blazes out of it when he was beating it out of the holder.
I guess they're his coins, so he can do wha............

Make sure my mother dont see this video,she'll be on my coin's like a fly on poop.
Can I just ask if what he just done have an impact on the value?
And would you be able to tell its been polished slightly if you came across that (for eg) coin?
