New Update on this coin: I gave it an acetone bath for about 1 minute, maybe a little over and the PVC looks to be removed and the the coin looks to be in much better shape.
I did an initial bath in acetone, then rinsed in a clean and new jar of acetone and that seemed to do the trick.
It doesn't look cleaned or altered, other than the absence of the PVC. Big Thanks to the forum members for helping me acquire and safely use acetone!
