i know that grading proof coins from a picture is almost impossible and especially with mine being in the case but if you wanna give a possible grade I would be intrigued. I just want to know if this coin could have a cameo? the obverse looks strong with a cameo but the reverse I'm a bit worried about. also the cloudiness might remove the chance of it getting a cameo grade if the back is even eligible. thanks!

What kind of case is it in? Both sides look like a mild cameo to me going with those pics.It almost looks like an impaired proof or a LDS proof?

Wow an impaired cameo proof ,but it could be the holder causing all that chatter . If that coin is not in a TPG slab then I recommend you break it out and retake your photos .

The coin is in a plastic set with the rest of the coins. But I think the chatter you see is mainly on the plastic and it has a lot of milk spots and is quite some odd toning that the picture makes it look like marks. From in person and seeing photograph I don't see any problems with it. But it's defiantly does not have the nicest eye appeal.

The reason we asked what kind of holder it is in is some holders can be opened and then you can take pics of the coin without the holder getting in the way.Can the coin be removed from your set?

I think I can remove it but idk if I can get it back on. It's looks to be sealed by 4 plastic screws and some adhesive.

Obverse is Cameo , not the reverse .
Also there are light environmental issues
that are easily corrected .
That type of haze can safely be removed
by proper restorative methods ( no rubbing
or harsh cleaning) .

Sounds like a Capital plastic holder not likely to be sealed in adhesive . Just unscrew the screws and open the holder . Don't try to conserve a proof coin unless you know what your doing . Give the entire plastic holder a cleaning with plastic scratch remover sold by Wizard coin supply co. or an auto parts store . Retake your photos then put coin back in holder .

what would you use to do this? or would that have to be done by a professional restorer?

standard coin dip can take care of haze. Obviously you have to be careful, but it does work.

No need to use coin dip , which I would NEVER use!
Haze off of proof silver and Copper nickel coins is easy !
NO need to make NCS restoration services rich .
