Dhughesz28 Valued Member United States 105 Posts	Posted 06/25/2008 3:49 pm So I went to a local antique shop today, and there was one dealer selling a bunch of NGC and PCGS graded coins. The problem is, all the slabs have big gaudy price stickers on them! I would like to buy a few of these coins, but before I do, I want to make sure I can remove all traces of the stickers and the adhesive. The paper part of the sticker usually peels off, leaving behind a nice sticky patch of adhesive! Is there a safe way to remove the adhesive from the slab without scratching or clouding the plastic? Thanks All Report this Post to the Staff

mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 06/26/2008 12:04 am Goo Gone may soften the plastic and stain. Wd-40 . Works great on removing stickers and tar on automobile paint also. Report this Post to the Staff
