Dont rake me thru the coals.

Can someone please tell me how to remove this haze? The coin is only worth melt, so I would like to know what I could use to remove that white junk. Yes I know. Dont clean. I'm aware, it's just this particular coin. Thank you

It's not a high value coin, so I would say try a quick dip in some diluted ez-est, followed by a very through flowing rinse and the a flowing rinse with acetone to dry it.  Won't guarantee it will remove the haze but that is probably your best bet.

I've tried dipping haze off of coins with ez-zest with not much luck at all. You might try it and see if it helps.

I got it off! I got what I assume is super lucky. I dipped in a distilled water mixed with muriatic and nitric acid, then immediately into distilled water, then into acetone. One quick consecutive movement mind you. I experimented with Pennys to get the dilution right. I mixed 2 tablespoons of distilled water with 3 drops of 22k gold testing acid. Voila! Acid mix, pure water, to acetone. That's the key. I didnt leave it in the acid or acetone for more than half a second. thanks for all your help.

You got away with it due to the dilution of your acid mix.  Nitric and muratic acid are much stronger acids that what is in ez-est.
