Is this a candidate for an acetone dip?

The obverse has what looks like glue on it. The reverse is pristine. Do you think a dip in acetone would help it? The small dark patch on the obverse, looks to be dirt, a quick hit with a toothpick should take care of that.

    I would soak it for an hour and rinse it and see if it needs to soak longer.

    And acetone will help with that.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    good luck, post pix when you are done.
    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!
