  That's not haze- rather a reflection... many times I'll take a picture of everything, then just the coin... when you zero in on the coin, you can angle it so the reflection doesn't show... my guess is there are two pictures here, no doctoring.

  Jeremy, check it again. It's been doctored. The 'haze' has been removed on the larger photo. This seller does the same thing with his "MS69/70" Ikes (brought up and proven on another Thread about three weeks ago).
  
  I purchased one of his coins, a MS70 1971-S. Yeah, if it was even an MS67 it would have been a killer Ike. As it stood the coin was a Commercial Unc and has since been popped out of the holder and placed into a Dansco.

  millenium i think you are right. just below the collar on lincolns back there apears to be a spot that looks like the guy used too big a spray size for the airbrush. the whole background looks like it was touched up.

  Good work Russ!
  I don't know how to do the gamma and all that.
  
  If you guys ever have a question about a picture you can tell a lot by doing this: Snag it to your puter & open it with Paint. (Paint of something similiar comes free & pre-installed on most computers.)
  Click "Image" then "Invert Colors."
  Like the old saying goes, a paint job can hide a multitude of sins.
  
  

  Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

  Invert colors is also great for detecting spots and dings in the mirrors of proof coins. Unless, of course, they've been "painted" over.
