For example, nose grease (or something similarly organic) can be easily removed with a safe acetone dip. Ask your dealer if he sees something applied to the coin&#039;s surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>It can get expensive and frustrating playing the crack out game, particularly if you don&#039;t know what the problems are that PCGS detected.
