<p>[QUOTE="ron_c, post: 2010768, member: 72518"]This dollar coin was in a set along with a Proof half dollar and it was removed from the round holder to be dipped. My daughter paid $10 for the set at a yard sale (probably because it was so ugly with the hazing), so it was no big deal if it was damaged during the dipping. The product is called e*Z*est Coin Cleaner or eZest. From what I have read, if you dip a gold coin with it or any other cleaner it tends to turn the gold coin an orange color. I have a couple of gold bullion coins that also has some haze on them, but I'm just going to let them have the hazing as I'm not going to take the chance. I also didn't want to take the chance on dipping the clad Proof half dollar coin as it has a very light gold toning on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only US gold coin that I know that is vacuum sealed at the Mint is the Gold Buffalo because it is pure gold and not alloyed and is very soft and easily dented or scratched</p><p>and is not recommended to remove it, unless putting in a more secure holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]362309[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
