<p>[QUOTE="zaneman, post: 236934, member: 3970"]I'm inclined to agree that it is PVC. You should be able to get 100% pure acetone at your local hardware store, and I would recommend giving it a good soak in that. To do so, I would put the coin in the bottom of an empty jar carefully, then carefully pour some acetone on it, close it up, and let it soak over night. Make sure the jar is not plastic, but rather glass. Acetone will dissolve plastic. If that doesn't work there are other alternatives, but I would try the acetone route first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
