<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1092359, member: 26302"]If the OP does not want to take it back to the dealer, (I would though, he should have seen the residue and if he missed it he should make it right), I would get distilled water in a glass container and place the coin in there for a day or so. Gently rub the surface, (gently!) with a clean cotton swab periodically. If it doesn't remove it all in a day, toss the distilled water and replace for another day soak. You want distilled water because it will attract the dipping residue most readily, and you want a glass container to make sure there are no reactions. When you take the coin out of the water dry it thoroughly with clean cotton. This is what I used to do if I bought a problem coin with some type of removable residue on the surface. I think it would be safer long term than leaving a chemical on the surface of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this is wrong please someone correct me, but I would never trust leaving any chemical residue on a coin long term.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
