[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 173645, member: 6763"]tcore: It seems strange that the coins were stored this way, and what you are describing seems to be PVC. That is the gunk that you get from old soft plastic coin holders. The PVC is what keeps the plastic soft, but it degrades and forms that green gunk. Anyway, I would try actetone, on a few of the 'junk silver' pieces. Just use carefully, and rinse the conis thoroughly, then air gry, be sure there are no water spots they may stain coins. Also, be careful not to rub the coins. Good Luck. The Other Frank[/QUOTE]
