Justinwd Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 01/14/2016 7:52 pm Hey everyone goes it going? So I got a nice 1845 large cent in very fine condition, problem is on the back there is 2 little spots of something sticky? Not sure what it is exactly but was wondering what would be the best way to try and remove it without hurting the coin. As always thanks so much for your responses and for everything I've learned since I joined here. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfusion Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 01/14/2016 9:58 pm Yes, try acetone and a soft toothpick. Let us know how it worked for you. And 100% acetone, not fingernail polish remover. Report this Post to the Staff

Justinwd Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 01/15/2016 11:48 am Yeah I noticed the two hits also, I don't plan on starting a collection of large cents I just wanted a couple good examples and thought this one was ok for the price, I paid 15$. Report this Post to the Staff
