*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. ***Well gave this bugger a 3 hour soak after breaking it out of the holder. Not graded by a reputable 3gp. It had a haze I didnt know if it was toning or from holder Idk if there is any visible change? I think I need E-zest in my life.... I will now let it soak for longer. Poor Jack First before pics   After

You might have better results after a four+ day soak. It's worked for me on clad haze about 70% of the time.

Whatever it is, it may be an irreversible reaction with the metal. If a longer acetone soak does not work, I would call it quits. e-Z-est does not play nice with clad coins and I think trying it would make it look worse.

Yeah I agree about the haze on coins being difficult to correct. I would try a longer soak as suggested, can't hurt to try.
Good practice as well.

Keep in mind that ezest is a cleaner and acetone is a conserver. John1  |

Now that you say it dearborn the S-mark looks a bit strange. Posted this in general first as it says one can discuss cleaning and preservation there. Is that a variation or error ? The last pics shows Jack in acetone Quote:

John1 Yes true that, would like to try ms70 on a hazy cheap coin like this just to see what I does Edited by Moniker

Good job cleaning Acetone is an accepted form of conserving. But it didn't help in this case. |

Acetone and other organic solvents will do nothing to that haze. I've tried 'em all and then some.
I don't collect or pay much attention to anything except Lincolns but I've heard MS70 can be effective on proof haze. If you go all out with EZest, be VERY careful. I have seen people ruin clad coins with it and proofs are very sensitive.....especially clad proofs.
The bigger question, why bother unless it has sentimental value to you? I think these are probably like $5-10 coins? Easier to sell it and buy a replacement.

I find it interesting to see how the coin is responding, and better to find out on a cheap coin than ruining a nice one. Acetone has improved some other of my coins.
Ezest seems a bit strong, if I decide to try out more ways on this coin it will be ms70. But first I will await the 24hour trial.
