...slabs with a CAC sticker. The alcohol will remove the color off of the sticker and it will be silver in color instead of green or gold.

Sell it on eBay as a rare sticker error.
Just kidding...
Interesting
Collector, occasional seller
Will anything change it from Green to Gold? Anyone?

The rare platinum sticker!

Did you buy an infected coin?

Tell me about it, when I use too much alcohol, I'm usually pale in the morning too

I'll remember that for sure.
Good tip... In this current situation, people are disinfecting everything...Will save some people 'restickering' costs... Cheers, RickO
A razor blade works much better.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
So who will now create the sticker to protect the sticker?
Or is this just part of a larger problem...
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Especially, don't use acetone to clean slabs. Acetone will dissolve the plastic and totally ruin the slab. Most of you guys already know this but there may be a few new collectors here who are unaware of this. I don't want them to learn this lesson the hard way.

it should be a no-brainer to not use alcohol on plastic.
Also, don't use alcohol when buying coins on eBay.

Be particularly careful not to use alcohol for an extended period just before buying coins on eBay.

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't an optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.
My mind reader refuses to charge me....
It depends on the plastic, remember it usually comes in a plastic container.
Alcohol wipes seem to take dirt and residue off of the slabs without doing any harm to the slab itself, not necessarily just disinfecting.
