I would use pure acetone, not nail polish remover. You can buy it at most hardware stores. Nice coin.

... Always check the percentage when you do buy acetone... If it's not pure, it leaves residue... XF-45 with a nice Die Clash on the Obverse... Beautiful

Ok thank you...I'll get some pure acetone for it...as for the die clash, is it a good thing? Darth Anarchus, you said a "nice" die clash, so I figure it's good, but I never heard of that (yes I'm new in the world of coin...)

EF40/45 Acetone should get the residue off, it looks like old glue.

It appears to be AU. It needs to take a bath in acetone.
