[QUOTE="charley, post: 7801422, member: 5372"]I like the comment, but I don't completely agree. Many do not have what is referred to as haze. There has been a school of thought, in general, that haze is helpful in evaluating a piece as original. I have original ikes (and many other series) in mint packaging without haze. Is it any less or more original? Beauty and acceptability is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. Haze has never been a basis of rejection of a coin, to me. I prefer not enhancing the piece with dipping, etc. Side comment, I knew a fanatic collector that doctored his coins with urine and then a distilled water rinse. Go figure.[/QUOTE]
