<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mkwelbornjr, post: 722061, member: 17034&quot;]I had a 2003 Silver Proof Calendar Medal from the Franklin Mint.&nbsp; The second to the last year they issued these.&nbsp; For 2003 and 04 the medals were NOT made by Franklin Mint as FM had sold its equipment. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My medal started toning in the display box...I assumed it wasn&#039;t lacquered.&nbsp; Dipped it in some EZ lust and the tarnish cleared up but the medal had a cloudy haze on it.&nbsp; I guess it was lacquered.&nbsp; I let it sit in pure acetone and koin solv for hours...a day on the Acetone.&nbsp; The cloudy surface is still there.&nbsp; I can&#039;t rub on the medal as it will damage the proof finish.&nbsp; Let me try an post a pic of it. Any help on getting this coin back to proof perfect condition would be appreciated...&nbsp; Its rare...VERY few were made.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Red">Sorry but offers to buy or sell only in the open forum</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq263/mkwelbornjr/FM%20Stuff/FM2003CalendarMedalDamage.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
