<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 2455434, member: 17261&quot;]It certainly will as verdigris is an ionic mixture of compounds. You will also be ripping the verdigris out of the pits via mechanical action. In my experience, pulling that much stuff off will remove detail on a heavily corroded coin. Seems removing the verdigris harshly also takes some uncorroded metal along for the ride.</p><p><br /></p><p>My choice would be to leave the pits filled and keep some of the verdigris to retain detail. I&#039;ve seen people in the metal detecting crowd completely strip a coin like this one with acid, what&#039;s left after that is UGLY in my eyes - a shiny slug with pits all over. You have to ask yourself what is worse, a coin with some verdigris and good detail or a detailess, pitted slug?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
