Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1441847, member: 112"]From what I can see in the pics the coins look pretty normal to me. The '57s, I believe came from a Mint Set, and that type of toning is normal. There's nothing you can about it except to use a coin dip (acid) to remove it. And unless you have considerable experience dipping coins, it is not recommended that you try that. The '63s and the '64s have haze, also normal, or commonly found on sets from the era. But the haze is easier to deal with. You can buy a product called MS70, dip the coins in that, and it will remove most if not all of the haze. But do not dip the cents in MS70 as they will turn purple or blue in color. MS70 contains no acid, but it is a detergent based cleaner. A few words of warning - I neither advocate nor speak against its use, but there are many who consider the use of products like MS70 to be coin doctoring. I am merely informing you of a product that will do what you want done. Also, there is no guarantee that the haze, or possibly even worse, will not return in time. What happens after the use of MS70 has a great deal to do with proper rinsing and neutralization, followed by proper storage of the coins. All of that said, the sets you have pictured are quite common and easily replaced at little cost if you were to sell the sets you have and seek new ones that you find pleasing as they are. That may well be your best route.[/QUOTE]
