<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 27528, member: 112&quot;]Haze on Proof coins, especially the more modern ones, is quite common. There are a couple of different theories as to why this is - one of them being that it caused by the wash used on the Proof planchets. But I have long been of the idea that it is one of the beginning stages of toning and is due to the way the coins are stored.</p><p><br /></p><p>But does it affect their grade ? Well in a way yes and in a way no. You see part of a coin&#039;s grade is based on eye appeal. And if the eye appeal is exceptional the coin may get bumped up a grade. But if it has haze in the fields - that&#039;s not likely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
