<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 655763, member: 17261&quot;]Severe verdgris problem, it&#039;s REALLY thick and has removed a lot of copper from the surface. It looks to me as if someone already attempted removal. Chances are that you won&#039;t be happy with the coin if you remove the verdgris, there will be pitting under it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>VERDI-GONE™ would likely have little effect on this coin. However, there could be some improvement. I would try a few common conservation techniques on it first, such as soaking in distilled water and perhaps xylene or mineral spirits. At minimum, if you wish to keep the coin, you should rinse it with acetone and put it in an Airtite to halt the progress of the verdigris.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
