Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 1:10 pm @eta, that looks a lot like dried adhesive. You could try a soak in acetone to remove it; however, the surface of the nickel may now be toned differently.

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 1:29 pm Yes no prob. Give it a soak and then try to chip at it with a wooden toothpick (obviously you don't want to scratch the coin while you remove the glue). It would be interesting for you to post "after" pics to this thread if you decide to go forward with the removal process.
