<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2970725, member: 76194&quot;]When I got into bronze I decided that every year I would do an inspection of every bronze piece and billon piece with low silver content. On top of that I&#039;ve given every bronze coin an annual light application of Verdicare, and I&#039;m happy to report they are al BD free...except for this one which I never bothered to apply any Verdicare to.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]728780[/ATTACH]</p><p>China - Xin Dynasty.</p><p>Wang Mang</p><p>AE.

Yearly inspection revealed a tiny blue green spot, and upon a finger nail test, it proved to be powdery. Look how tiny it is, looks like I caught it nice and early.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]728781[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have removed the remainder with a toothpick and have now applied Verdicare to the entire piece. I will keep isolated and inspect every week for 3 months for signs of reappearance, and treat with other means if it dares show it&#039;s ugly face again. There appears to be no visible damage as I caught it in it&#039;s early stage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Inspect your bronze and billon coins at least once a year, and change the envelope or holder. And Verdicare is your friend. Don&#039;t leave the protection of your bronze and billon coins up to pure luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
