<p>[QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 1567980, member: 37356"]I actually contacted BadThad about this and he said something about soaking it in distilled water to start. The seller didn't know much about coins and I contacted him about doing this, taping coins to something. I actually got this for $11 along with a low grade common v nickel, I just used acetone on that. It was listed as an "1887 Liberty Cent" in the V Nickel section along with the v nickel. I wouldn't return it because I could get more for it if I resell it myself and re-list it properly.. I am thinking I may just list and note that it had been taped to something and I would suggest soaking it in distilled water to remove any tape residue. Of course there was no way to know the seller would have done this. How about alcohol and distilled water will that help? That is what I usually use on wheat cents and have used this on another large cent that was previously cleaned. That coin is turning brown again. When I got it, it was orange. I emailed the seller and I was right, they didn't know not to do this. Of course if they knew what they were doing, they wouldn't have listed it as an 1834 Matron Head / Coronet Large Cent and not a "1884 Liberty Cent" in the V Nickel Section with a coin worth a buck.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F181002445174%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1497.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F181002445174%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1497.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/MIXED-LOT-1884-LIBERTY-HEAD-ONE-CENT-1905-LIBERTY-HEAD-NICKEL-NR-NO-RESERVE-/181002445174?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&nma=true&si=m2%2F%2BsGS0Fu9JQ8EZmsV5nCGcmmQ%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
