Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 05/29/2017 12:00 pm I'm slowly CRH'ing $100 of cents, and came across a 1972D Lincoln Kennedy penny. Problem is, it still has the dab of glue and paper remnants from the sheet it originally came on. How do I get it off? I tried to just grab it and pull, but that did nothing. I'm thinking acetone?

However, there may be a remaining difference in toning between the part of the cent that was covered and the part of the cent that was uncovered.
