<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 1083262, member: 23692&quot;]There is no difference in the weight of a bronze vs a brass 1859, as they both are 95% copper .. and wear of dirt/crud wuill more than compensate for the minute difference.&nbsp; If the green crud that you have is soft, then acetone and a Q-Tip or soft toothbrush will remove it.&nbsp; Acetone in fingernail polish remover.&nbsp; WD-40 soaks help and work with a Q-Tip.&nbsp; If it&#039;s green and crustly, nothing will help.&nbsp; A non-variety coin with any corrosion on it is essentially worthless.&nbsp; There are maybe 1000 varieites of the 1859&#039;s .. unless it&#039;s a rare one, very littl epremium for minor varieites.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
