Not a particularly valuable coin, but the mintage is pretty low. Extremely low by US standards. Anyway, it had obviously been in its soft plastic flip-type holder for a LONG time. In fact it might not have ever been taken out of it. The coin has no toning, but did have some sticky stuff on the edge of the coin on the lettering (all the way around), and a little on the rim. Is/was this most likely PVC residue?</p><p><br /></p><p>I removed it with a Q-tip and MS70, and then rinsed it in distilled water and very carefully dried it. Gently! I know cleaning is generally evil, but this had to come off... Right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
