Advise needed: How to remove sticker residue

I just bought a slabbed Barber quarter which has been "stickered" many times
from many dealers over the years... Now that it has a permanent home for the
forseeable future, I'd like to remove the residue safely... without
chemicals and without a razor blade. Probably a question with an obvious
answer, but if someone could suggest a way, I'd appreciate it.

There are a number of citrus based products that would probablt do the trick.
One that I have used before in similar circumstances is calle (don't laugh)
"Goo Gone"

WD-40 works best.

I don't know if denatured alchohol will work,or maybe nail polish remover.
Try not to put anything directly on the slab-put some on a cloth or paper
towel and try wiping it
some products can cause the plastic slab to cloud.
good luck-

And what do you use to remove the WD-40?

You could always put a sticker over the spot.

You're right, Phil. Goo Gone is the best thing for this. It's a citrus based cleaner which
won't leave residue or harm the plastic. This is what I use and then I polish the slab
with Novus #2 Fine Scratch Remover. PCGS slabs clean up the best. They seem to be made of
a harder plastic than NGC slabs.
