<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1492805, member: 5233"]I would just leave it as is. What Condor meant by etching the surface is treating the coin with an acid prior to placing the sticker. BU coins are very shinny because they are smooth. Adhesives don't often stick well to extremely smooth surfaces. Treating the surface with an acid etch for only a few seconds would remove this smooth surface and leave a rough surface behind which is much better for a strong adhesive bond. That could be partly what you are seeing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
