    Try acetone dip, as it may be a substance that will disolve.

    Never use the words scrub and coins in the same sentence.

    Like @jesbroken said, acetone.

    This is the problem. If it is "on the coin" then it's not a lamination. (Unless it was peeled back but there would still need to be a void nearby).

    And wiping with water would not impact most glues.

    It's not a laminated planchet,
    nor a planchet lamination.

    Water won't work with that much gunk, you need acetone :)

    Whatever it is it is not worth bothering with.

    Don't scrub.

    Water won't dissolve glue.

    It is definitely NOT a lamination.

    Not a lamination - or more correctly - a delamination. Looks like surface glue or some such substance. Water will not affect that... Use acetone, soak for an hour or more. Cheers, RickO
