This is the mixture and info sheet I went of, trying to save the patina as soon as possible but alas, green water almost from the start. Sodium...
Thanks very much Pishpash I will get two and see how I go.
Not a bad idea Pishpash, how many do you think I would need for a safe 18''x 18''x 10'' high, just a guess would be good enough if possible.
Thanks for all of your thoughts and replies on this, I am happy to keep the coin and would not consider asking for a refund as I look at it as my...
I think the environment has a lot to do with it, like presumably had dormant bronze disease when I got it and then all of the sudden exposed to...
Yes I reckon your right TIF as I was always wondering how did I get that for $64. I ended up taking that whole plastic sleeve out of the album...
If I had of left the coin for another week it would have eaten a hole through the coin as it is at the moment there is a crater 2-3mm deep.

No unfortunately YOC I wasn't a member of coin talk then and didn't think of taking a pic then, but no matter what I decide to do with it down the...

That powder on the table is salt I just had steak before I posted LOL.
Yes lordmarcovan it does not bother me too much as this was just an exercise in showing everyone what the results are in fighting BD there is...
This is why I am showing you guys the results of (repair) BD because they say that it will take all your patina but if you get it out earlier...
No that's what they look like after you leave them in a Sodium Sesquicarbonate for long enough the dark green patina breaks up and becomes light.
That light green is not powdery it is the patina being dilluted and fading patchily.
No the light green is just the patina breaking down, besides the copper looking area the rest is fine. The Sodium Sesquicarbonate will eventually...
If you look at the original picture you can see a sort of purple area that is where I believe the BD was (hiding) until I treated it and now those...
