Will ms 70 clean the haze, but leave the toning.......

Will ms 70 clean the haze, but leave the toning?

I have a Ike proof, w/ a little peripheral toning, but kind of hazy, will ms70 work, or will it wipe it all out?

  • I don't think anyone can answer that. If the toning is a film then yes it will remove it. With Jeffersons it generally will leave the toning but sometimes remove it.

    It will only leave the toning if it is "into" the metal. Sometimes it will take some and leave some. Sometimes you'll lose color but keep splotches. It all depends ... wise to experiment with some coins you don't care about. I would expect it would probably lift away the kind of halo toning you find on those 74-S brown box Ikes, for instance.

    Generally MS70 takes the toning off.

    Works best with a Q-Tip (rolled) and really restores mint luster on Morgans and nickels (warnicks especially). Use on BU only . . .it will definitely make an AU Morgan look 'cleaned'.

    Most toning comes off with haze. But wow . . . it can really clean up a proof that has hazed over.
