<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1865782, member: 36248&quot;]Well I tried WD40 and Goo Gone tonight on 4 coins that arrived today.&nbsp; &nbsp; These are NGC no-line fatties, so these slabs and stickers are OLD.&nbsp; &nbsp; First off, both WD40 and Goo Gone work fine on newer labels that have a clear or white-ish adhesive, and scrubbing a little with q-tips makes fast work of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately for me, 3 of the 4 coins had 20 year old sticker adhesive on both sides, which has turned crusty and yellow.&nbsp; &nbsp; Basically looks like (is?) petrified masking tape! Neither WD40 or Goo Gone worked well on these.&nbsp;&nbsp; I scrubbed, I soaked, I cleaned it up, and repeated.&nbsp; I used my fingernails between sessions.&nbsp;&nbsp; Each coin took about 4 soaks, and I still don&#039;t have all this rock-hard yellow adhesive off.&nbsp; &nbsp; Got most, but unless I want to sand blast these fatties, the rest is there to stay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Following the Goo Gone instructions, I dabbled a rag in some soapy water and gave the slab a little cleanup, I hope this takes away most of any remnant liquid and odor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one of the coins I cleaned up:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]314375[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
