daggit Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Recieved a 2004 1 Rupee the other day and one side has tape glue across it, how can I remove this without damaging the coin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banivechi Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 try to disolve the glue with acetone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlavicScott Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 A quick dip in acetone should help. Be sure to rinse in distilled water, afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggit Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 OMG, thats so technical, but thank you both. No paint thinner and bristle brush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tane Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 If you use the brush, you can try dynamite too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banivechi Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 or sand paper than that it is better to drill the coin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tane Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 And remember to polish it heavily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggAndyy Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Little bit of goo gone should do the trick. But if it is really old glue it might take several attemps. I bought a Morgan from a junk bin that had tape on it that must have been there since Methusala was a pup. Took 5 applications before it would loosen enough to remove without disturbing the metal on the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
