<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3150238, member: 46237&quot;]There is nothing wrong with soaking a coin in acetone, as long as it&#039;s pure acetone (like what you can get at a hardware store). The acetone will remove any residue from the tape that may remain on the coin if it is from tape.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, stripes like that are often not from tape but from older style paper holders that collectors stored coins in. The coin tones differently around the paper strip. This type of toning is often accompanied with pleasant toning, and the strip does not detract from the appeal of the coin. The only way to remove the toning would be to dip the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the coins are sticky, I would soak the coins in acetone (make sure to do so in a glass container as acetone will dissolve plastic) as this will remove any remaining residue, but would otherwise leave them alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
