Jake the Dog Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 06/12/2017 9:56 pm Looks like gunk/glue... definitely post mint. Acetone might loosen/remove some of it. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/12/2017 10:12 pm If acetone will not touch it, try placing a pin (DO NOT SCRATCH) over the thickest part of the gunk?, and apply pressure. Some of the gunk may chip off. I have done this to remove thickened verdigris on some coins. Report this Post to the Staff
