Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 558 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 09:37 am I haven't done this before. I am kind of curious to see how it goes... Thoughts? Or leave it? Report this Post to the Staff

captainmandrake1 Valued Member United States 435 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 09:44 am What goal do you have in mind by washing it in acetone? To me the toning looks gorgeous and I don't think the acetone will remove it. Edited by captainmandrake1 10/02/2022 09:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
Jerry Picker Valued Member United States 419 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 10:00 am X marks the spot. I would use acetone to, at least, remove any tape residue. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 10:29 am I would also use acetone to get rid of any tape residue. The yellowing is probably toning, since it's mostly in protected areas that weren't in direct contact with the tape. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 75184 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 10:31 am Acetone certainly won't hurt it. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 48554 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 10:33 am ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 558 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 10:37 am thank you everyone. So, there isn't much tape residue that I can feel or see under magnification; slightly grainy to touch . . . @captain makes a good point which I considered...you don't see yellow tone on these very often.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 10668 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 12:22 pm Acetone is your friend--almost always... Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 558 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 1:16 pm After looking at the coin under my better magnifier and feeling the surface with clean hands... I realized it did have quite a bit of surface gunk...it was a good coin to practice with acetone... After images below... Report this Post to the Staff
captainmandrake1 Valued Member United States 435 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 4:33 pm Looks like a lot of the gold toning was tape residue. Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 558 Posts	Posted 10/02/2022 4:37 pm @captain, yeah. From the market where I bought it hope, I had a quick look . . . turned out my initial post was wrong; nearly all tape residue. I didn't pay much . . . and Peace dollars with a tape stained X are rarer than ones without :) Report this Post to the Staff
captainmandrake1 Valued Member United States 435 Posts	Posted 10/03/2022 6:39 pm Still a nice looking coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 75184 Posts	Posted 10/03/2022 7:31 pm At least it's a common date. Pretty much a bullion tracker. Edited by Coinfrog 10/03/2022 7:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 13720 Posts	Posted 10/04/2022 09:14 am anytime you have residue like that its a tough call. the coin would detail either way. if you remove it then your can see the results. you have no way of knowing whats underneath but the coin is better without the tape on it over the long term. maybe a heavy pocket piece will help dull those areas and even it out.
