Can not remove milk spots without damage to the coin. Looks like an impaired proof to me.

Acetone will not remove milk spots.
They cannot as John1 stated,be removed without affecting the surface of the coin.

I agree with John1.
In terms of value,
I would see this coin as having the same value as a business strike in the equivalent MS grade, with no extra premium.

Very slight wear can be seen on the moose's jaw,
AU-55 equivalent, or if you wish, PF-55.

Handi1: Sorry about that; I have never seen a moose!
The only Caribou I have seen is a DHC-4; it has wings.

Time for an experiment - that coin is very common and won't ever have much value above bullion the way it looks. Try this (don't tell anyone).
I don't know if this will take off the larger spot, but all the rest of the haze will be gone. Go to a Canadian Tire store, buy TarnX, put a bit in a glass, put coin in, swirl for 10 seconds, rinse a lot under water, dry on a towel (don't rub), put in 2 x 2 when at room temperature.

CARIBOU ! It's a darn caribou not a Bullwinkle !
and the 1967 25 cents is a Canada lynx, not a bobcat or cougar.

Thread replies are getting confusing.

"Thread replies are getting confusing" ?

Now I'm a bit confused. The original poster asked for a grade but you can't examine the coin well enough to grade it because of the hazy coating. He also asked if there was a way to get rid of the spots so I answered that. The photos of the proof $1 was to show what the outcome could be. It may be easier to see details or wear marks on his coin if he tries my suggestion and then he can get a grade.
Should I start another thread about the cleaning ? I do have a couple of other coins with massive differences that I photographed.
