gmwatson Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 8:14 pm I bought an XF 21 Peace dollar (slabbed) which is noted as stained. I got it relatively cheap and thought I might see if I could remove the stain with Acetone. Can coins actually be permanently stained with little ability to remove? Report this Post to the Staff

Funny Money Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 9:09 pm Unfortunately, yes. If acetone won't do it, xylene might. But it may just be better left alone. Have any pics? People here might have had such a stain, and be able to help. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/28/2012 9:40 pm The reason is that even TPGS's make mistakes. Hard to believe but there are only people working there. You could have a toned, stained, tarnished, corroded, rusted, burnt, etc. coin. Or maybe just dirty. A photo sure would help or at least help a little. IF the so called stain is into the metal of the coin and not just on the metal, removing it would take off that metal. Again, need a decent photo. Report this Post to the Staff

malikot Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 11/16/2012 02:22 am SsuperDdave, What do you mean? I just want to see if it is possible for me to see the photo of the coin. Just for my visual reference, because I have the same problem coin. I reckon, it wouldn't hurt to try asking. I am a visual person and it would really help me if I can see the photo.
