Super Glue on the upper obverse holder that will not come off with Plastx.

    Try nail polish remover. Test it out first on the edge.

    don't try nail polish remover - acetone eats plastic


    try goo gone (its a spray cleaner)

    They make a non-acetone version of nail polish remover.

    Yes, ethyl acetate. I should have mentioned that. It will smell sweet.

    It doesn't work so well in removing reds though.image

    you could also use clay bar, they sell it at auto stores. Itll get that right off the slab, plus no harsh chemicals image

    I have a buffing wheel that I use to make my coins all nice and shiny, certainly that would work on a slab?
