Tiffibunny Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Here's some of the downside... Along with what caused it there as you can see I left a few still taped together. Any suggestions on how I can get this crud off would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trantor_3 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Any suggestions on how I can get this crud off would be appreciated. You might want to try Aceton. If that doesn't work, there is dedicated stuff to remove tape / sticker glue. We use it quite a lot at work and it works real fine. Haven't tried it on a coin though, so you might want to test it on a less valuable one... http://www.kontaktchemie.dk/Produktoversigt/label_off_50.htm datasheet in PDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Oh, going through that is far too much for one person. Ship me half. Seriously, the "injured" coins notwithstanding, that's got to be a ball wandering through all those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabone Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Investment in a good sonic cleaner? That old tape should (no promises but should) come off with just a soak in rubbing alcohol and then using a q-tip to wipe them clean. That old tape was gum resin based if I remember right. Otherwise I would stick them in a sonic cleaner for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 ...Now I am enlisted to of course, get everything identified and protected and valued blah blah, though they won't let me take it home. Of course not. They want you to visit more! Too bad with all the glued and tatooed coins. I had a lot like that myself from my GU's collection. It was a lot of work to "restore" the ones that I wanted to keep -almost a year. But it is fun to look at new stuff though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 I've always wanted to have a 2.5 and 5 Indian. I think the incuse design is so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 I think acetone is your best bet to remove the glue residue. Shouldn't take very long. And it shouldn't harm the coins in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I always wondered what caused that yellowins type look to some coins I see. Now I believe it is tape residue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogy Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 looks like you guys had a good time; nothing like family bonding over a fun hobby! I like the $5 Liberty, the gold Libs are one of my fave coin designs. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
