i was wondering if anyone knows how i can get glue off the back of a 1904 indian head penny without damaging it. I don't think this coin ever went into circulation and if it did, it wasn't in very long because someone put it in a necklace but used glue to keep it there. The coin is in amazing shape except a little glue on the back but I don't want to damage the coin.

Hello dhblair62, welcome to the forum

I understand this is a bronze coin?

The most secure manner would be to bring it into a jeweler's shop and have it removed professionally, but if you are unwilling to do so I could suggest the old plain water and soap method (put in a cup of water with soap, swirl around a while and rinse, while making sure afterwards you dry the coin completely).

If this doesn't work you could try the olive-oil method
