<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdb1950, post: 27533, member: 1735&quot;]If you have any proof sets or Ike dollars in the hard plastic proof cases of the 1960&#039;s and 1970&#039;s from the Mint and the coins have a haze on them, remove the coins form these cases, as the haze will only get worse and eventually do permanent damage to the coin surface.&nbsp; Something in the clear plastic outer covers or, most likely, the inner black plastic holder is causing the haze.&nbsp; Blue haze is bad.&nbsp; White spots&nbsp; - bad.&nbsp; By the way, haze will actually dull the luster while toning usually only colors it.&nbsp; Luster is almost always present under toned proof and uncirculated coins, while haze is usually the result of a chemical coating that can actually eat into the surface of the coin, eating away the original luster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
