MeowtheKitty Valued Member 353 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 5:47 pm Meow found this yesterday. It has some kind of epoxy stuck on it, as solvent would not take it off. So this is as clean a Meow could get it. Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 5:53 pm Hey Cat, get some 100% Acetone and give it a soak for an hour - it usually removes glues and residues. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74936 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 6:10 pm Using 100% Acetone works very well on coins. I've done it many of times, and the results are great. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

MeowtheKitty Valued Member 353 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 6:48 pm The best Meow could do was lacquer thinner. Soaking in that for a whole day did nothing. That's why Meow thinks its epoxy on the coin. Maybe MEK or equivalent can remove it. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74936 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 7:21 pm It's okay that you used lacquer thinner on this coin, since it's heavily damaged, but don't use it on any valuable coins. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
MeowtheKitty Valued Member 353 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 8:30 pm Meow is bummed, that Meow might be missing out on a coin variation that can be added to the Cat hoard. But yes, it might be better just to give up on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 10:26 pm Looks like a split plating issue. Spendable. Not a die chip. Report this Post to the Staff
