It would seem that you could say that almost any lower grade proof coin must be cleaned or where else would the hairline be from?? I assume in the early days it was common practice to take a tissue and get that toning polished back off your coins??

Ditto. Go through some flat-pack era proof sets some time. Plenty come right out of the celo hairlined.
