I agree. Acetone should do the trick in removing the remaining glue. Not to be debbie-downer but there may be underlying damage -- I've seen it...
I would be worried if you WEREN'T worried!
I think you underestimate the graders at TPGs. If I could spot the coins at age 10, I have to believe professional graders spot it but simply...
BR is applied a few ways. I use a q-tip not my finger. Remove extras with cotton balls. It does not damage the coin in any way. And yes, in...
FWIW, NGC's perspective seems to diverge from PCGS with respect to the MA of BR on copper. Said more directly, NGC allows coins with BR in their...
Wow, thanks for the reminder. I will try and make it. Not sure yet, but Saturday is looking good!
Wanna wager it'll slab the first time through? Say, dinner at a restaurant to be named later? :)
I guess the point I take issue with is that once you remove BR there is no more "shiny look" and the coin reverts to the state it was in before...
I guess my point is that some chemicals actually change the surface of a coin by their application other don't. One type are chemicals that...
I don't think I was being contradictory either, but I'd really like Thad's take on my prior post. I am certainly open to being incorrect. And...
Am I incorrect? Does BR affect a coin's surface? It certainly hasn't (outside of stopping surface deterioration) in the 30 years it's been on my...
Why would you feel that way for something like Blue Ribbon, which is essentially an oil that does nothing to the surface of a coin, yet for...
What took you so long? ;) :)
Frankly, the subjectivity of NT/AT and the TPGs consistency (or lack thereof) on MA is not a new issue. MA has always been a moving target, IMO.

I would recommend you do exactly that, then the air tight bag and desiccant to be safe.
Pretty coins sell for more money? No conjecture necessary, but rather simply the reality of the coin market.
I know more than one (although I'm not quite sure how you would define consistently). One uses chemicals on copper. Another uses albums and a...
Be careful! Keeping a gun from rusting is far different than keeping coins from toning. In particular, there's more than humidity to worry...
65 I'm betting the luster is all there.
