Glue on 1944 D

I’ve had this in my Whitman, but the glue on the obverse distracts me. I really think I’ll acetone submerge it. That and a gentle q tip should fix it up a bit.. right?

Try it or just get a new B.U one for a few bucks.

 

It should. These adhesives manufacturers used much more volatile solvents back then. If acetone doesn't budge it, you can bet that Xylene will.

 

I am still running on my money from working before school started. Only a couple grand left so I’m taking it slow.

At this point I have very few holes left after @spirityoda gifted me 9 wheats I needed over the past month.

While I’m at it. Others who have helped me with gifts and swaps are @Penny Luster @SchwaVB57 @Heavymetal @masterswimmer and more I can’t remember at the top of my head.

i didn’t have much money to use on my collection as a young one (my parents are financially conservative and I hate using their money) so I missed out on all the best parts of being a young collector. I’m very happy you, @potty dollar 1878 and @Matthew Kruse both are YNs. I never had the chance for that!

 

Nice you have a good set.

 

Just a couple minutes in and she’s changing color. Lots of the reverse gunk is flaking off.

 

Looks much better now.

 

Dang Evan.... You are making me want to take my old Whitman cent book out. I started mine in the 1970's and didn't plug those last half dozen holes until not all that many years ago..... That's a fine set you have.

 

Most are my circulation finds. others are swaps or gifts. I'm glad you like. I will be trying to finish these up sometime in the next couple years.

 

I find most of mine the same way,my best a beautiful 1902 indian from a roll and found a dateless buff a few days latter.

 

I had a terrible shape 1903 IHC at work a year ago or so. One of my coworkers knew I liked coins. Nothing special but it was nice. I had a 1897 barber dime, which is now my oldest find.

 

All found in circulation,do you have a set yet?it says you have the bug.

 

I have a folder. Not very full yet, I haven't had much time. I've found myself getting more and more into Jefferson nickel proofs. But I also have a set of Roosevelts and mercs id love to finish... I'm all over!

 

Turned out nicely I'd say. I should cover all my red cents in glue to preserve the color, lol.

 

I haven't searched many nickels. I pick out the goodies I get in change mostly. some of these are bought.
Thje

 

Would help with the cents if I could but all of the ones you are still missing are the ones I need for my second complete set!! Sorry!!!

 

don't worry I think I got it from here on out.

 

I had a Morgan with some unsightly tape glue across the back. I can't find that original picture. If I had known what was going to happen I'd have shot a little video. But right to top bottom of the eagle was yellow glue like masking tape. It was about g4 so I thought lets experiment. Got a little jar and dropped it in acetone and within seconds it literally cleared before my eyes. You couldn't even see a difference like a toning line or anything.

 

Who knew that glue can be a coin preservative?! You might be on to something big!
