Omg . its NOT IN a 2x2. I sit the coins on a 2x2, its not enclosed. Again I do this because
A) I don't have a coin mat
B) I don't like the sound of the coin against the scope platform.
Anyway.
@dearborn - ok I have that. (painting contractor) but soaking it with acetone seems like it will ruin it more? or it doesn't matter? Thanks!

Acetone will not react with the metal.
It will remove glue, paint and other
Things. There may be color differences
Due to toning.

No, 100% acetone will not harm your coin. It is the only thing that will be recommended to remove gunk and dirt from a coin. Anything else could quit possibly damage one

I habitually use something other than acetone, only because acetone has a very rapid evaporation rate.
Naphtha is slower to evaporate and will not harm the coin in my experience.

It might be water based glue like Elmers if it is, acetone won't touch it. Soak it in pure water.

Excellent. Acetone (almost always...) is your friend.
