Glue from the blister or something else?


Sovstacker

Recommended Posts

Four (4) months after the purchase of this coin (2010 bullion gold sovereign), i took it out of its sealed (I believe it was sealed) blister to store it in a capsule as usual.
By placing it in the capsule and looking at it from an angle, I saw these signs that were not visible or I had not noticed, while it was in the blister.

Do you think this is glue that was in the blister or something else?

Is there a way to clean it without damaging the coin? (meaning that after cleaning it can get a grade and not details cleaned, regardless of whether it's worth sending for grading)

Thanks in advance

Can’t really tell from the picture all that well but it does look like glue.

It’s only a modern bullion Sov so if it was me I would probably just try the old soap and warm water or put it in the ultrasonic cleaner 🤷‍♂️ 

I assume you were speaking hypothetically about getting it graded. I believe the only way to 100% safely “clean” a coin and not get a details grade is to send it for conservation and let them do the cleaning themselves.

I do not clean coins but have seen and heard of the use of acetone to remove glue / gum. Followed by distilled water and high pressure air to chase off the distilled water.
