<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mainebill, post: 1815529, member: 44004&quot;]Ok first thing go to the hardware store get some denatured alcahol and pour some in a jar drop coin in and soak for a few days to a week if it s shellac it should just dissolve and alcahol won&#039;t hurt the coin if that doesn&#039;t do it I&#039;d try stronger solvents such as acetone mek or xylene&nbsp; I&#039;ve used acetone a couple times to get tape residue off that alcahol wouldn&#039;t touch I&#039;ve not had to use much on coins tho as I usually buy them clean and problem free but I use all these solvents on a regular basis in my antique furniture restoration business removing later finishes and paints while preserving the original and am very familiar with their properties absolute worst case scenario I&#039;m sure methylene chloride (heavy duty paint stripper) will remove it and it doesn&#039;t affect silver but it will probably remove any toning and patina giving the coin a cleaned appearance[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
