After five days in pure acetone, there does not appear to be any appreciable reduction in the cloudiness. Bummer. Must be surface rub then.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6546 Posts	Posted 11/24/2025 6:59 pm I have not yet tried other solvents. I do have isopropyl alcohol, but I was concerned that it might affect the mirror surfaces of the proof. Report this Post to the Staff

So what are you saying? Keep messing with the coin or except it for what it is? It's a clad Proof Bi Centennial details coin. Report this Post to the Staff

It's a clad Proof Bi Centennial details coin. If you are keen to experiment, sure. But otherwise, yes, time accept it or look for a better example.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25410 Posts	Posted 11/25/2025 11:04 pm Mate bought a new stainless steel spatula today and an adhesive label was attached to it. The label mostly peeled off but left a sticky mess behind. Hot water and rubbing with my finger just moved the adhesive around. Rubbing with a paper towel soaked with Windex was equally ineffective. A paper towel soaked with 91% isopropyl removed it with much effort. The next step would have been WD-40. Glad this wasn't a proof half dollar.
