White Hase On Proof Coins

Hi busthalf

Welcome to the forum !!

Sorry to hear about the milk spots on your proof coins .

I do not know of any safe way to remove milk spots from proof coins .

I have heard about equally success and failure stories of different attempts with different products.

thank for the welcome. It's not just the 70's that show this. And it's not spots but like a hase . I have found it on unc. silver Eagles as well. The only common denominator that I can find is that they werte stored in my Dansco albums.
I have been told to try acetone or jewel luster. If I do should I rinse and with what. I have been collecting for about 10 years and have compiled quite a collection, around 2800 coins. I have MS and have begun to down size the collection because of the confussion factor associated with MS. I'm wanting to reduce my collection and not the value. I have decided to collect a type set in certified coins. Any suggestions on how to sell the collection and maximize the return so that I may use it to purchase the certified coins. Again thanksfor the welcome. My first time on a forum.

The haze you mention sounds like Oxidation which is normal depending on the method of storage. You did not mention if these coins were still in the Mint encasement. You mntioned the hazing on coins in Dansco Albums also. Dansco Albums are not air tight however, if still in USMint slabs and then in the Dansco Albums and still acquired hazing, then also you could have a problem in the area you store your coins. For example if in a basement and you live in a high humidity area, you may be acquiring that haze as a normal raction of the humidity, Oxigen, Carbon Dioxide in the air. Humidity and Carbon Dioxide are heavy and settle in basements. Dipping any coins in any solution will probaly be noticed by a dealer so you may end up doing more damage than good by attempting to clean the haze off the coins. There is always suggestions to use something like Acetone. Always remember that Acetone is volitile and no gurantee to solve your problem. Also, it has been reported numerous times that the haze would return evern more prevelant after such a dipping. Then note how would you put the coins in and out of the solution. With your fingers? Always remember not to utilize chemicals you are not familiar with. The people that suggest such things will never come over to your house and help rebuild it nor will they visit you in the hospital.
