    Looks like plain, old verdigris. I can't tell what the coin is, does it contain copper?

    No it's a Wash/Carver silver commemorative.

    Allmost all coins contain some copper except for the bullion issues and still can have trace amounts in them.

    Yes I think what you have is the underlying etching that was caused by the PVC that was removed to late.

    But that doesn't leave a green color. Discolored yes, but not green.

    Silver coins, and even some gold coins, get verdigris too - not just copper coins.

    i most believe that its toning, not verdigris or pvc. it would be easier to determine with full pictures of the obverse and reverse.
