Removing PVC but not Toning? - Pics Added

FrattLaw

I just got a 26-S Toned Peace with 1 spot of PVC on the obverse. I want it gone but I don't want to affect the rim toning on the coin. Luckily the PVC spot is not on a toned area.

Can I dip the coin in acetone without effecting the toning or should I use a Q-Tip and try to treat the spot directly. Or since the coin is going to NGC just let NCS doing it and then have NGC slab it?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Acetone will take care of the PVC and I believe it won't hurt the toning. Just take a Q tip dipped in acetone and gently roll it on the coin till the PVC is gone.Worked for me.

I wouldn't attempt it. Have NGC's new curration service handle this one for you. I think GREG talked of having a toned early Commemorative done and they did a good job.
I also had an NGC MS68 1976-S Ike done to remove a fingerprint (yep- NGC leaves them too!) and they did a great job!

I would be interested in seeing an image of the coin if you have one.

You tawkin' to me?

The 1924 is on hold, Frattlaw.

Use a bit of Unisolvent for the PVC problem. If you like, I can take care of it for you tomorrow at the Anaheim Show. Be there!

Here' s the pic! Despite the PVC it's still a great looking coin.

Unfortunately the blues and greens don't show up well in the pics.

Fratlaw, Although My name is not John, I am the one Strat had the 1924 toned peace dollar on hold for. Thanks for posting the image of your peace dollar. It looks nice.
