- Ever find an amazing coin encased in some nasty epoxy, acrylic, or resin? Here is a guide on how to effectively remove that junk and get your awesome coin back! Enjoy!
(No coins were harmed in this filming of this video)
You can try peeling it off with a screwdriver, hitting it with a blow-torch, or just smack it with a hammer against some concrete and chisel it until it peels off. Or, just watch this video.

Thanks husky!
Cheers!!!!
That's nice to know. I have a Kennedy like this
Let’s fix that ;-)
@@SilverHusky12 I may try
Very cool
Thank you!!!
Not to shabby.
Thank you!! I didn't expect it to come out so well...
acetone is indeed a fairly aggressive chemical. you did alright with a large silver coin overnight, but I learned the hard way not to use it for an extended time on base metal coins. I left a couple of small base metal coins in acetone over a weekend ... it was many years ago so memory in inexact ... such as aluminum or zinc coins from the Vatican and Italy ... and the coins pretty much dissolved all the surfaces of the coins leaving me with not much more than slugs. so it was indeed a good thing that you did not spill any on your laminate tabletop!
Omg that’s crazy. And yes, my wife would have killed me if I spilled it, lol
Stopped by to say HI, and let you know I hit the subscribe button and hit the bell for you!!!!!

Thank you for stopping by! And thanks for watching! It was a fun experiment that luckily worked out in my favor! Lol
@@SilverHusky12 It worked VERY well! Congrats.
I have that same coin and am heading to the garage to find the acetone. So satisfying to see the coating slide off like that-I look forward to that tomorrow!
How did it go????
I just picked up this exact coin at a thrift store. It looks identical to yours with the gilding and the acrylic protective coating. Thanks for the video! I'm going to try to remove the acrylic on mine. 😄👍
How cool!!!!! Please let me know how it goes.
Very nice. Gunk slid right off 👍
It worked so much better than I had expected.
Stunning coin.
Thank you!!!
Cleaned a Morgan dollar as well. 100% acetone. Took three days letting it soak. It was on super thick. Never rubbed it. Just patted it dry periodically. You ought to see the before and after. Amazing.
Did you take photos?
@@SilverHusky12 I did....just of the front...the only place the glue or whatever it was
Whimsymaker nice
Can I apply it for aluminum or copper coins?
Yes, the acetone won’t hurt those metals
Wow that turned out great
Right?!?! I was surprised it turned out so well. Usually when I do stuff, it turns out terrible
Silver Husky I know what you mean I have a knack for making a small issue into a huge problem, I’m just gifted like that
Hahaha! Glad to know I’m not alone
That was very cool I have a 1939 walker the same way think I will try it 👍
Good luck! I got the acetone from Walmart in the nail polish section.
Nice video demo. Thanks.
Hey! Thanks for watching!
Have been soaking mine in exact same stuff for 4 days. No result yet. Not warm enough here in Pennsylvania.
Thanks as always for the content
Ink Scars thank you for watching!! This one was fun to film and worked surprisingly well!
Silver Husky I was surprised how well it worked! Now doing that did it remove the price to spot been seeing if you even clean a coin it removes and cost to spot? I just got a few silver coins but have some sticky stuff on them but wanted to clean them. Do it or don’t?
Ink Scars as I understand it, this coin would still retain its premium value, as there was no mechanical cleaning. The process only removed surface junk. It didn’t remove any tarnish, just the resin.
Very Nice thanks for sharing it turned out awesome
Thank you!!
Turned out to be a Great Looking Morgan!!!
Seriously!! I am psyched about it!
👍⚪👍 looks like that worked really good💥🎆😀🎇🍀✳️🔥
Right?! I’m happy with the result!
I used acetone to remove the lithographs off American Eagles as well 😊👍
Just removed a 3” medallion from a block of acrylic or resin. Cut it down as much as possible without damaging the coin. Then used acetone to dissolve the rest of the acrylic resin. Worked like a charm. I used pure acetone from the hardware store. Let it soak about 1.5 days. Hardest part was trying to find a container for the acetone bath. I used a metal can with a lid. A glass mason jar would work as well. In my opinion after doing this, I’m convinced the acetone is the best way to remove these coins without damaging them.
I 100% agree. Works so well!
Another interesting side note. The 3” bronze medallion I removed from the acrylic block dated to the 1970s. It was shinny bright when sealed and when I dissolved the acrylic with acetone. But it tarnished shortly thereafter with a beautiful patina, almost as if it was exposed to air over its 50 year life. Very weird to watch this happen. But, I’m very happy with the results. The patina looks amazing. As if it aged 50 years in one week, once it was freed from the acrylic.
Interesting. Thank you for the information.
Right on! Very welcome!!
I have heard that it is not a good idea to mix acetone and plastic as it will eat through some types of plastic.
This coin was likely part of a piece of jewelry, which could explain the dings on it.
I would get it weighed to see if there is a significant amount of gold on it (even a gram is worth about $70)
I think Ill try the jackhammer. I also use acetone for my coins. I sometimes find deals for colourized and acryliced coins.
That’s awesome! Yeah, they go for a bit less but often the coin inside is in amazing condition.
What’s the value of that coin? I have one very similar but it’s a 1880
I believe you can get them for around $27-$33 each. Some years are worth more depending on mint marks and condition of the coin.
Will the acetone degrade the value I have a 1884-0 in resin Diamond?
Awesome! We’ve come across nickels and halves covered like that. Good to know!! And of course you saved a beautiful Morgan so 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amen to that!!! :-) glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! What a fantastic and easy removal. That is a beautiful coin! A huge success I would say!!!!
Thank you!!!! I didn’t expect it to work so well, but very happy it did!
Did you put it in a microwave?
lol! No. Just in a container with acetone.
lady at anacs said if my coin was in epoxy its ruined and wont grade it
If removed like this, they would likely never know. Acetone removes every trace of the epoxy.
This was one of your best videos yet. I can't believe that coin cleaned up so well.
Right?!?! Me too!!!! Things I try never work out like that!
If that's resin on the coin, it was NOT from a cigarette! Should have sent it over to Sterling Cannabis. A lttle dab will do ya! "Not sure these gloves will protect me. ARRRGGGGHHH, the jar is turning red!!! Mrs. Huskie - HELP!" Check your fur and make sure it's not falling out! Is that Miami Vice knocking? On a serious note, thanks for demonstrating that method.IMPRESSIVE results! My parrot has this wart on his beak. Where do I get that acetone?
You have a parrot? Why am I not really surprised by knowing that? Hmmm.... The acetone was from Walmart in the nail polish area. I think I'm going to dub you "The most interesting man in the world". Cheers, hombre!
Dude... I just got your resin pun. Man, I need some sleep. Brain isn’t computing this morning. Lol
@@SilverHusky12 Got parrot when I lived on my boatl He liked spinach, so his name is Popeye. Sadly, I missed the pet shop special and the eye patch was not included. I'm in the desert now, but he still has the POOP deck.
Cactus Jack SwAg aye, Captain Cactus Jack! Ye be swabbing that poop deck.
Think I might start covering all my collector coins in glue to protect them for the Longrun😂👍
4nines Fine silver hahaha! That would be cool! And then just use acetone to release them
Great instructional video. I always heard that acetone would work to remove sticky tape marks on coins. Gonna try it out. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. 👍🏻
Thank you for checking it out! I was surprised at how well it worked.
The acetone seems to have done the job, now you're left with one clean beautiful Morgan. Just have to rinse the acetone off it.
Done and done!!! Hot water rinse for about a minute. Thanks for watching, brother!
It came out good! Looks like some jewelry/ bezel damage on the edges. I wonder if someone tried to burn off that coating.
You may be right on that bezel damage. The coin is in incredible shape otherwise... I do really like the gilding.
Great job, but would coins treated like that be considered cleaned ?
I don’t think so. Cleaned means there is noticeable dirt on the edges of lettering and images, but not if it is just the removal of the epoxy
That is a gorgeous Morgan, can't wait to see how it turns out.
