Bill:That was the first thing I thought of.They were not like this when Ipurchased them.They were in the 2 sided
flips and never taken out.I also have a Mass and a Maryland with the same frosted look.They were also stored in the flips.I've never taken them out of the flips and the flips were stored in another box.
Thank you for your opinion.

The coins were under the same lights with no editing.They were side by side in the scanner.

In that case, it's most likely PVC contamination. It will make proofs look hazy and comes from some flips. Dip them in acetone and some of the haze should come off. If not, rub them a bit with a Q-tip.
