This coin shows a haze on the high points of the devices. It is a very light tan color. It does not come off in acetone, but does in dip. Is this from storage in s paper product a long time ago, or something else? Does it preclude a bean? There is nice luster and nice color underneath. Thanks.

I will save @oreville the trouble of mentioning the Forum's totally unofficial fingernail hygiene maintenance policy.
This coin has only had an acetone soak. I am thinking envelope, or Raymond Wayte type holder? But does CAC consider it toning, or damage…
Have you tried boiling water and/or an ultrasonic to loosen the imbedded particles?
No archeologist would do more than speculate about what's beneath that grime. Unfair question from the git-go
Will it CAC? Considering how little John Albanese knows about color, if you can actually get it into the right holder, then of course it's worth a try.
That poly residue would come off with urea dips but not acetone...
Not smart.
We were noobs.
That half never lost the dipline.
Personally I respect all collectors and all collections equally. I enjoy seeing a youngster with a Warman’s book of National Park Quarters and would enjoy talking with them ( and in their excitement) as much as I would chatting with a collector with a complete book of Morgan Silver Dollars !!
That applies to everything in life . From the guy on a mini bike who rolls up to my R1250 GS Adventure , to a Private First Class or a 4 Star .
Nope, not you. No worries.
What you call "haze" is actually an oxidized surface that is not affected by acetone. Dipping the coin in an acidic dip as your second step insured the coin cannot be saved. Acid dips are saved for the last step of conservation when the coin is ready if they are needed at all.
"What coin are you asking about?".
However, he is very knowledgeable about the appearance of both coins. Hands I don't know. Maybe....
BTW, "if" is not a definitive answer. That is sort of like opining 2 months after the question.
