Message:: [QUOTE="GSDykes, post: 2188008, member: 73321"]True, I have no idea what the previous owner did, good point. The coin was a proof 1964 nickel, and it definitely appears to have been in the same holder for some time! You know, it left its imprint on the little window, and both it and the little window became cloudy. In his sales image of the coin, I was unable to discern, it was cheap so I jumped. Lost very little, and gained another reason why I need to rely on better pics. The guy dumped one on me for a couple of dollars. desertgem is correct in that acetone does little to remove old PVC, it seems to bond to the coin's surface, especially after some time. And this coin was in this same holder for some time. It was a Lighthouse holder, no staples, and no apparent water damage, the adhesive bond seemed quite good. I really suspect that "old" window. Hence I now suspect LIghthouse 2x2's for long/short term. I cannot afford rigid things, and the Safflips are okay, but do not fit in my albums!! I am happy with the Supersafe 2x2 and probably will stay with them. I doubt if I will be around here 25-30 years from now, I am almost 69. But I do want to leave the next person with something useful. So, I plug along... doing my best within reason, thanks.[/QUOTE]
