52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8518 Posts	Posted 02/21/2012 9:55 pm I'm not buying them from the same seller. I just received some world coins that I've been collecting for a birth year and one of them had that feel. I asked the seller what it was on that one coin and they said it was from an old collection and was probably a preservative or the Vaseline. I looked on line and saw an article about Blue Ribbon coin preservative. I don't know, I was just curious if you guys knew. Oregon coin geek.....* GO BEAVS ! ! ! * Report this Post to the Staff

Many unscrupulous dealers will doctor a coin with putty or wax to fill in larger gashes, though I haven't seen this done in many years now. http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/del...arkener.html "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

If fully dried, it's barely noticeable.....if rinsed with water or acetone, it's not noticeable at all. Always follow the solvent polarity ladder when trying to conserve a coin. Rinse with the following in this order until the residue is removed: 1) distilled water 2) acetone 3) xylene Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
