[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1352723, member: 15445"][b]Sticker glue is obvously not good for coins[/b] IMO you should notify the thrift shop that pressure sensitive adhesive used in their stickers is harmful to coins (especially in the long term). Maybe you can sell them some 2x2s or non-PVC flips. You may consider soaking any coins you have purchased in pure acetone to gently remove the residue. If Acetone doesn't dissolve the adhesive, then emersion in Alcohol may help to lift the adhesive. Sometimes you might need to gently work away the adhesive while the coin is immersed in the Alcohol so that the Alcohol gets under the adhesive.
