<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 754303, member: 4552"]AHHH, you beat me to that one. I wanted to say all that since I've worked with numerous varieties of Solder. However, you did forget to explain all the different fluxes used in the Soldering processes that do create different adhesive capabilities. </p><p>Meanwhile back to the original question. That is really a tuff one to try to figure out what to do. If the Solder used was of a really low melting point, as explained by rlm's cents, there is a faint possibility that some or most could be removed by simply heating the coin. In almost any such situation though, it will usually flow all over the coin creating a worse situation. </p><p>If you really want to try something, try looking up a jewler that makes jewlery. They usually have extreamely delicate torches with pin point type flames and could possibly get some or most of that off. However, I suggest if you do this you first ask HOW MUCH. Since the cost may exceed the value of the coin. </p><p>In reality though, if I were you I'd just be happy with that coin the way it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
