I've never used it, but would be interested in seeing your results. Can you post before and after pictures eventually?
Used it once. was okay on circ coins but unc coins came back kind of too bright and the natural luster subdued. Never used it after that even though I use ANACS a lot..
Who des the conservation at ANACS?
What is wrong with your coin?
Acetone?
Coins of mine if develop or hazy / I dip them. I would suggest you practice on some cheap ones… b4 going to all in.
For distracting haze removal my go-to is MS70.
Can you post some better pictures of the coin? From the ones you have posted it doesn't look like it has a chance at CAM.

Unfortunately one-sided cameos don't get designated, particularly if that one-side is the reverse.
Regarding removing haze: Here is a before and after of a 1942 Proof WLH that was very hazy. I cracked it out of a PR65 holder(to be fair, it was an old holder) and it graded PR67 when submitted. The process used here was just a soak in MS70, followed by tap water, then spray with distilled water to avoid water spots. This method is not per their instructions but it avoids any physical contact (chance of abrasion) with the surface of the coin
I wouldn't do this to a coin with attractive haze, this was not.

I have tried IGC conservation service with OK results!
I mix in a post MS70 acetone bath and then a acetone rinse with fresh acetone, then a water and pat dry on a towel. I have never used Ezest on a good coin, leave the metal alone is my guidance but I can imagine it could help some coins.
