<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2638536, member: 80121&quot;]If you can&#039;t find acetone (it is pretty common) look at the label of nail polish remover, if it says 100% acetone, you&#039;ve got it. GooGone also works on the residue and not the coin, but I would use the acetone first, you can soak it for 24 hours if the residue is really hard and has been on for a long time. As a reminder, acetone is highly inflammable, best to use with ventilation and DOES NOT react with the coins metal. I&#039;ve submitted several coins that have been treated with acetone to TPGS and have never received the dreaded &quot;surfaces altered&quot; notation on the label. Just remember to rinse with water and dab, not rub the coin afterwards, warm water seems to work better than cold, has a faster evaporation rate, so add that extra step.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, use hard flips, not soft ones (okay for very short storage, but I&#039;ve thrown out&nbsp; any soft ones that come my way) so you don&#039;t have the same problem in the future. Good old cardboard flips are still the best, if not he oldest way to store coins if you dot have a capsule that fits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
