[QUOTE="CircCam, post: 2663248, member: 85675"]Thanks all for the kind welcome! I doubt I have much that would be worth a membership at this point- I recently completed an Uncirculated wartime Nickel set with some PCGS and some raw and am curious if any would slab but haven't sent any in. Was thinking I might head to a pcgs certified dealer and get a second opinion. There are no rare dates in these... there were a lot more of these when I was younger so I have a feeling they were cherry-picked sadly. The peace dollars are all 1922's, 23's, a 25 and a 26. There were several S's and a D but all common. The Morgan's are mostly 1883-O and 1921 P with an 1889, 1896 and 1899 but again all common when I looked. I have heard of treating with distilled water and acetone so I was thinking this might be the way to go with the Peace's since they are all common. The Morgan's all look good and I wouldn't alter them. My thought was that if the acetone route could be done safely, at least I would get the ugly glue spots off and it wouldn't really affect the value negatively but again I've never cleaned a coin (I actually like crusty roached out coins, just not random and unfortunate glue!) Thanks much for all the input... unless there is any real reason not to I'll probably plan to do as mentioned and test the acetone route on one of the 22's to see if it works. Looks like they were all stuck with the same type of gunk so that would be a good indicator if it will work across the board.[/QUOTE]
