<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 2454545, member: 17261&quot;]The coin is already heavily pitted and corroded, the pits are filled with verdigris. If you use a harsh method, the verdigris in the pits will dissolve and the end-result will be will pitted,&nbsp; cleaned and hideous. You&#039;ll probably take metal with it losing detail and it will probably look worse, if you can image that. Appears to be an EF-AU coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I would just soak this coin for a few days in VC, with a couple fluid changes, then let it air dry for a week. I would go no further, I would leave any remaining verdigris on the coin for fear of losing detail. When done, put it into an AirTite and leave it alone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve worked on coins similar to this before and I&#039;m telling you, if you get too aggressive with it, you will not be pleased. There is NO NEED to completely remove all verdigris! VC and an airtite will stabilize anything left will halt it&#039;s progress.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
