<p>[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 2601925, member: 83845"]I agree with the above posters to use acetone and never to use baking soda. I had a coin that had pretty bad pvc damage because I left it in the holder it was shipped in which was apparently pvc. I put a small bit of pure acetone I got on Amazon in a shot glass and let it soak (swirling the acetone around every so often). It took the better part of the night but it eventual worked. Every few hours it might help to take a Q-tip and ROLL it gently across the surface. Never scrub it as this will scratch you coins. With patience you should be fine and good luck. Below is a link to the acetone I used.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/MG-Chemicals-Acetone-Pure-Grade/dp/B00M47X53Q" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/MG-Chemicals-Acetone-Pure-Grade/dp/B00M47X53Q" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/MG-Chemicals-Acetone-Pure-Grade/dp/B00M47X53Q</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
