<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 2986314, member: 91461&quot;]A bit ago I had posted a pretty sick coin (that&#039;s sick as in sad, not bro talk <i>sick</i>, bruh). And I was given good advice from some of my CT friends on treating bronze disease. And what a difference a couple weeks can make!</p><p>Shout outs to [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER], [USER=89687]@ominus1[/USER], [USER=82549]@gsimonel[/USER] and [USER=76194]@Sallent[/USER] for the advice. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie92" alt=":stop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I treated my heavily BD&#039;d coin by soaking (in distilled water for a couple days at a time), scraping (with a toothpick) and scrubbing (with a cut down toothbrush). Then repeating. Finally once I could no longer spot any BD to annihilate I baked her for 45 minutes at 375 degrees.</p><p>Here is the before...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]735696[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]735697[/ATTACH]</p><p>Here is where I am at now...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]735698[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]735699[/ATTACH]</p><p>Sicily, Kamarina AE Tetras</p><p>C 420-405 BCE</p><p>Obverse: Gorgon facing, tongue protruding.</p><p>Reverse: KAMA, Owl standing right on one leg, clucking lizard with other claw; in exergue, three pellets.</p><p>17 MM, 4.04 g</p><p><br /></p><p>And now, as Tom Petty warned us, the waiting is the hardest part. If after 3 months time there is no sign of BD then I will apply the Verdicare I ordered from, &quot;Good ol&#039; <a href="http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/index.php?p=catalog&amp;mode=search&amp;search_in=all&amp;x=39&amp;y=23&amp;search_str=verdi" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/index.php?p=catalog&amp;mode=search&amp;search_in=all&amp;x=39&amp;y=23&amp;search_str=verdi" rel="nofollow">Wizard Coin Supply</a>&quot; (thanks again [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER]. I ordered the big bottle and will be going over all my bronzes real soon). At that point I will be out of the woods! For now it&#039;s pins and needles hoping no green is seen.</p><p>Any other tips pointers or you just have a really rad Gorgon/medusa,&nbsp;&nbsp; Sicilian, Tetras or whatever, please share![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
