<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 24655013, member: 112&quot;]It easily could, if it wasn&#039;t done properly. If it was used properly it would work just fine. But you don&#039;t need anything nearly as strong as coin dip.</p><p><br /></p><p>I should have mentioned in my original post that using commercial coin dips is not for the uneducated, or those unfamiliar with its use on coins. It can easily do irreparable harm to a coin when it&#039;s not used correctly ! Its use requires a great deal of practice and knowing everything about it that you need to know. But when it is used correctly, it&#039;s like &quot;magic&quot;. When used incorrectly, it&#039;s your own personal, and very real, nightmare !</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is a product called MS70 that works wonders on removing the cloudy look on Proof coins with just a quick 1 second dip in it. Works wonders on business strike coins as well when it comes to getting them to look their best. And no it will not affect the cameo or Proof luster. (There are many coin dealers and knowledgeable collectors who will use MS70 on any coin (except copper) they are planning to submit to a TPG.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Pour some, enough to completely cover the coin, in a small glass bowl, hold the coin by the edges only, dip it completely in and pull it out. Rinse thoroughly with distilled water, stand the coin on edge on a soft towel and lean it up against the counter backsplash and let it air dry overnight. All there is to it - and the cloudy look will be gone.</p><p><br /></p><p>A word of warning though, <b>DO NOT</b> use MS70 on copper. MS70 is infamous for turning copper, both Proof and or business strike, a blue or purple shade. And it&#039;s not a maybe or a sometimes, it&#039;s about as sure the sun coming up in the morning.</p><p><br /></p><p>MS70 is not your conventional commercial coin dip. But it is a very weakened, or diluted if you prefer, coin dip - that&#039;s how and why it will remove the cloudy look. That cloudy look on Proof coins is the beginning stages of toning, which is why things like acetone and or xylene will have no effect on it whatsoever - while MS70 will.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
