<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bobbeth87, post: 644270, member: 18369&quot;]Roll searching through half dollars I find a great many coins with a red or blue line from a felt marker on it.&nbsp; Some have a number written from a sharpie on it as well.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I had an extra, but empty, Kennedy half album that my 15 year old wanted to put together a collection.&nbsp; I have been saving AU coins I find when roll searching.&nbsp; There were two that were really nice, but had these ink marks on them. Well, this is what I did:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I took a q-tip and sprayed hairsray on it until good a moist.&nbsp; I then used it to clean the ink off the coin.&nbsp; On a flat field, it came out instantly, but in the hair, for example, it took some scrubbing.&nbsp; I then used the other end of the q-tip and dried it/wiped off all of the smeared ink from the cleaning.&nbsp; I then washed the coin off with water and patted it dry with a terricloth towel.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When done, I couldn&#039;t tell that there had been ink on it.&nbsp; The luster was still there.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what this will do long term, but thought I&#039;d share in case anyone else had a similar issue.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please feel free to comment.&nbsp; :smile</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
