You might try soaking in distilled water then freeze another method lay coin on tinfoil put glue on let dry pull off may take several try"s*** never thought much of the olive oil method(just my opinion) HH rr7

Rapidroy thanks for the advice. I have tried the glue method already. I have attached some pictures to see if this spurs any replies.
