<p>[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 132155, member: 4373"]Chemistry wise, once you have verdigris on copper coins, there is nothing you can do, except to slow it's rate of damage, or dip it into olive oil and let olive oil slowly eat away the corrosion. But remember olive oil itself is a weak acid. Of course that explains why vinegar helps in the cleaning because it's a stronger acid than olive oil. </p><p><br /></p><p>Time itself is a factor - sometimes if you leave it in the solution for too long, you might as well let the coin dissolve in hydrochloride acid...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
