<p>[QUOTE="nightowl, post: 760974, member: 18614"]People are in the habit of leaving their capo attached to the headstock of their banjos....and the finish goes from brown to black...and then they stop it, and I can well imagine that it would continue to deteriorate....but nobody continues the habit after it's gone black on them, so I don't know for sure, but if this thing was lacquered....it could be some kind of "plastic" adhering to the coin, which is how the seller described it. It was inexpensive, so it's worth the effort of trying to conserve it.</p><p><br /></p><p>We'll try the treatment for hide glue and mold first though....</p><p><br /></p><p>Nightowl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
