<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 3576660, member: 59737&quot;]Start by soaking it in water, distilled water preferably. Then ensure the coin is <b><u><i>entirely </i></u></b>dried, by setting it on its edge and letting it air dry. I personally set my coins on a soft, dry towel and turn over to dry it, but air drying is the safest (don&#039;t let your coin roll away).</p><p>Then soak it in pure acetone.&nbsp; This will not hurt your coin and should loosen up the residue and either let the tape fall off or make it so you can easily pluck it off with a gentle nudge or pinching it between your nails.&nbsp; Get a few soft q-tips and soak them in acetone and then ever so gently roll it across the coin to capture the tape gunk. It should literally come off onto the q-tip. If not all of it comes off, let it soak 30 more minutes and do it again. Rinse the coin one last time in a new bit of acetone and let it dry thoroughly.</p><p>Soak the coin one last time in distilled water and dry as you see fit.&nbsp; This will not affect any of the toning on the coin.&nbsp; HOWEVER, there is already a marked difference between where the tape was and the rest of the coin.&nbsp; This will remain and could tone differently based on how it was stored or what might have been trapped between the tape and the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please provide follow up photos here![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
