<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2186082, member: 19463"]This is not an easy one. The standard soak in commercial or home brew BD remover (Sodium sesquicarbonate) will remove the green but the green is what is supporting the silver. Depending how deep the BD has gone into the copper you might end up with a hollow shell. This will be interesting but fragile. You might get lucky and find solid green under the powder as on the one below but you still will have breakable edges. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/4jdedge.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]423987[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
