<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 225277, member: 2972&quot;]The green may be PVC damage, but it is much more likely this is simply corrosion.&nbsp; Copper frequently corrodes this green color and the areas where it is occuring lead me to believe it is corrosion rather than PVC (which is often spotchy and not lmited to the protected areas as this coin is).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, the coin looks to me to have been cleaned and the corrosion was much more visbile prior to the cleaning.&nbsp; If I owned the coin, I would try and soak it in acetone, then if that doesn&#039;t work in olive oil for a day or two, thoroughly rinsing it in distilled water afterwards. I doubt either will have much of an effect.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Take care...Mike</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s. I grade the coin VF/XF details, corroded and cleaned, net VG.&nbsp; It does have a lot of deail and is still a good album coin.&nbsp; $5 is not too bad, all things considered, but I would have passed on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
