Removing glue residue from gold coins

2 posts in this topic

I have a $3 gold coin with 3 small spots of glue residue on the reverse. Is that something NCS can remove and then holder in an NGC holder?

Glue residues are typically something NCS could remove from the surface of coins. I would not be able to comment on the coin's gradeability after the removal of such glue. Typically glue residue would not cause any damage that would cause a coin to "no grade" with NGC. We have seen situations when glue residue was hiding a spot removal or hairlines. This is, however, the rare exception. If a coin would "no grade" after the conservation of glue residue, it would likely be for a problem other than that residue.
