  Not sure about using acetone, never tried it... but isn't $5 per set around 1/2 of the melt value??? Very nice deal!

  Nice deal... cannot say what will work without knowing what the contamination is.... you can try acetone.. 100% soak... for an hour or so.. rinse in DI water, blow dry... Cheers, RickO

  If the little white spots are milk spots they won't come off. Acetone won't help either, you need a watered down dip, then the acetone rinse, and a pat dry.
  
  Or, sell them for melt and double your money!!!

  It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  Are you sure you purchased your sets from a dealer? I find it hard to believe that any dealer would sell them for $5 a set, unless it's Chinese counterfeit. If not, great buy. Dip your coin for about 1 second in e-Z-est...rinse in acetone ... pat dry. It will remove the haze, but if the spot is still there, I'll give you $7.50 per set.

  Yea near the far back wall near the Anacs booth. This dealer had plastic buckets/tubs of old silver quarter and mercs if I remember. I did buy them all, the envelopes were shotty looking and maybe the dealer or pawnshop owner knew these weren't so great. Looks like they were never opened but looking at them right now they could of been and thats why they were priced for dumping. If anyone remembers If I recall there was a very older woman that was nice as can be and a young kid, the older gentleman was eating something when I asked the lady how much. As a Franky collector I said how much she thought for a minute and said $5 a piece. Didn't have to ay any taxes either. I will tryed to post a few spotty for you guys in the next few days so maybe some can help me. thanks.
