<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7816883, member: 103207&quot;]Personally, I would leave the coin alone.&nbsp; Coin dip will remove the haze.&nbsp; However, in order to dip the coin you need to crack it out.&nbsp; So that&#039;s tossing money down the drain.&nbsp; I would leave it and see what happens.&nbsp; &nbsp; As I said earlier if your really like that coin then try to locate another one in it&#039;s original capsule and buy it and keep it in it&#039;s original packaging.&nbsp; Do not remove it from it&#039;s capsule unless you are putting it into a better holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you shipped it to NGC you must have transferred the coin into a flip.&nbsp; Flips aren&#039;t air tight so the longer it sat the more exposure to humidity.&nbsp; Another thing that can be a problem is how the coin was handled.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you removed the coin from it&#039;s capsule in a uncontrolled environment or even breathed on the coin before putting it in the flip you could be the one at fault.&nbsp; Proof coins need to be very carefully handled.&nbsp; When ever I transfer a coin to a better holder I try to avoid breathing in the direction of the coin and I wear gloves.&nbsp; You could even wear one of those fancy masks we all have been force to wear but, when working on coins it&#039;s probably not a bad idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
