Default Removing baked enamel from coin

If it is "real" enamel, which is kiln-fired glass, laquer thinner won't

To remove real enamel, one would have to suspend the coin vertically and
fire in a kiln until the enamel ran off the coin. But, I doubt the OP has
access to a kiln to do this.


What is the melting point of 90/10 Au/Ag alloy? How does that compare
to kiln firing temperatures?


That said, it could be the same kind of coloring you experienced, colored
epoxy resin. This COULD be removed by soaking in laquer thinner.
