Hello guys.

Just recieved my soverign... its in fantastic condition very very happy with it...

I was just curious if anyone had any success with removing the ink...

Iv not done anything like this before and the last thing I want to do is damage the sov.

Cheers.

Joe.

I was told wear gloves for handling and use a bath of nail polish remover to bathe it washing  clean with plenty of water afterwards

[Spence098]

Did it work ?

[Tattoedamat]

Mine are going in to grade and conservation

That ink is really hard to shift.  I've had mine sitting in a glass beaker with 98% acetone (Wilko nail varnish remover) for a couple of hours.  The ink is slowly getting fainter so should be good by the morning

[sovereignsteve]

Acetone not so good, spirit based solvents seem better. Try water soluble paint brush cleaner, easy to wash off afterwards. White spirit or xylene the best but then you have to get rid of the solvent.

[SilverHoarder]

I tried a few different solvents yesterday with no success.  Left the coins soaking overnight in the acetone and this morning all the ink had gone.  The coins look lovely.

[sovereignsteve]

I am wary of long acetone soaking as there have been reports of it affecting copper.

I found less than 30 mins in brush cleaner

[DHD2020]

Do you just leave it in brush cleaner with no agitation?  Acetone removed 90% after 36 hours but seems less affective now.

[SVcollector]

You can try MS70 liquid. ITs an american product very effective. 

These sovereigns were top quality! Original luster!
