coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 01/10/2017 5:10 pm The tape is not nearly as bad as I thought, and somebody said he/she thought they were stars. They are! I paid $70 for all 4 sheets. Pretty good pick-up I say. Should I use isopropyl alcohol or acetone now? Report this Post to the Staff

AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 01/10/2017 7:24 pm talk to an archivist, or museum director that can point you in the right direction to someone who fixes and repairs old papers and documents. They will tell you how to best deal with the note. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/10/2017 7:32 pm I would add that universities have archivists or access to them. If you choose to try isopropyl alcohol -- don't use the stuff that's 90% because the rest is oil or something. Nice pick up! Enjoy! Report this Post to the Staff
coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 01/10/2017 7:36 pm I decided to use what I have already: 100% acetone. I carefully removed the tape off, with a lot of tape residue left behind. Then, I used a q-tip dipped in acetone, which actually is working! More later. Report this Post to the Staff

coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 01/11/2017 01:16 am I unframed all the bills. I successfully removed all tape and residue without damaging any of the bills! I'm really happy about that! I will post pictures tomorrow of my work. The framed are ruined though, but I don't care. Report this Post to the Staff

coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 01/11/2017 12:21 pm This time, I want to frame them correctly, not by using tape! Report this Post to the Staff
scopru Pillar of the Community United States 5029 Posts	Posted 01/11/2017 1:22 pm Michaels or Hobby Lobby (not sure where you are located) or a good craft store should have the ability to take care of your needs regarding framing. Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, but that would run me more than the bills cost! Here are some pics after conservation! Report this Post to the Staff
