<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 722203, member: 18157&quot;]I have NO experience in this area...just throwing out a thought. If the cloudiness is due to a laquer/dip reaction, there may be a way to remove the remaining laquer without damaging the coin. There may even be a way to reapply the laquer to get the coin back to its original condition.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would contact the original manufacturer (FM) or a retail outlet that deals in these types of coins to see what they say. I would do that first, before attempting anything else that might do further damage. Short of that, replacement may be your only other option.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>EDIT: <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2FCoin-Cleaning-Kit-Franklin-Mint_W0QQitemZ290361799988QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0%3Fhash%3Ditem439ae97534" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2FCoin-Cleaning-Kit-Franklin-Mint_W0QQitemZ290361799988QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0%3Fhash%3Ditem439ae97534" rel="nofollow">Franklin Mint coin cleaning kit</a> (wonder what this is)...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>EDIT: There is a blog at <a href="http://www.franklinmint.com/?gclid=CKe37dPY3J0CFQ_xDAodnUUXMw" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.franklinmint.com/?gclid=CKe37dPY3J0CFQ_xDAodnUUXMw" rel="nofollow">FranklinMint.com</a> where you may find some answers...but you have to subscribe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
