China marker is sort of an oil/grease/wax based crayon pencil, that you peel. it would be moisture resistant, even to a lot of solvents and degreasers. it might smudge a bit if wiped hard, but won&#039;t really come off without a lot of work and something that will break down the grease/wax of the china marker.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>if it&#039;s china marker, the only way to really remove it from metal or anything else completely is either acetone and elbow grease rubbing,&nbsp; WD40 and rubbing, or a baking soda and water mix and rubbing.&nbsp; Again though, it&#039;s fine&nbsp; to use it to remove china marker on a piece of sheet metal, not so much for removing it from a coin that you get rub lines on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly I&#039;d just leave it alone at this point, you tried the least harmful methods and got nowhere, there&#039;s no guarantee underneath it won&#039;t have toned at a different rate and will still have lines on the coin, i&#039;d just leave it as it is at this point unless you decide to possibly sacrifice the coin as an exercise in learning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
