I haven't seen pictures of any that appear to be peeling or chaffing on the rims like this one. Regardless, I love this coin. Thanks for any input you kind folks have! Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 189053 Posts	Posted 08/18/2017 1:23 pm I agree, paint or glue and acetone should be able to remove it. Just be aware that the coin surface below this paint/glue has been protected for an indeterminable amount of time. It will not have toned evenly with the rest of the coin.
