Cleaning pen ink marks off chips (1 Viewer)

[pressurecracks333]

Hey all. I’m relatively new to chip collecting and even newer to chip cleaning, so I was wondering if anyone could advise me on something.

I have some chips in my collection that (I assume?) have what look to be pen ink marks on them, and it kind of drives me crazy lol. I was wondering what the best way to get these off was, if that’s even possible?

Take this Tuscany $1 for example. The marks on it are pretty ugly to me, and I’d love to clean them up.

Any advice on how to best go about it?

Thanks in advance for any help!

On those, just grab some alcohol wipes and see if you can just get it off the plastic. Or a high alcohol hand sanitizer. I doubt it would do anything to the edges.

I will give that a shot. Thank you!

Alcohol (isopropyl or ethanol, high concentration) should work on pen ink marks, especially since this is on a plastic chip (BJ S2) and ink won't penetrate.
