<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 619980, member: 15199&quot;]Depending on the shellac/lacquer/varnish formula used ( old was either made from specific plant or insect material, newer from polymer plastic material) Acetone may or may not remove it. Acetone works best on the older stuff, some of the newer stuff may require different solvents. Acetone won&#039;t hurt the coin, some of the other stuff could. </p><p><br /></p><p>If the acetone rinse doesn&#039;t remove it, it will allow you to put it into a relatively inert holder until the correct answers present themselves. No need to do anything questionable at this time, the coin will keep.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
