[QUOTE="Don P, post: 3181872, member: 84878"]From experience, I had a Morgan 1886 O that was in an album I got from an estate sale. The one side had tape across it where it was held in the album which was probably there for decades. To remove about 90% of the tape and hardened glue, I had to soak in acetone for about 3 days to loosen it up before I used my finger to rub it off.
