[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 39407, member: 112"]The haze found on Proof coins is caused by the wash solution the mint uses. By washing them again, you not only destroy the originality of the coin - you compound the haze problem. They are your coins, so by all means do with them as you will. But understand, someone who is knowledgeable about coins will see the telltale marks of your washing them in a heartbeat. Acetone will not always remove the haze but it may temporarily remove it. Sometimes it comes back even worse than before the acetone. The best thing to do with Proof coins that have haze, assuming you don't like it, is to sell the coins and get replacements without haze.[/QUOTE]
