[QUOTE="Bluegill, post: 1109947, member: 1748"]I pulled out my Marcus Aurelius denarius a few days ago and was distressed to notice that it had a problem. When I first got it, I noticed that there was a tiny spot of green at one edge. I figured it was a small bit of patina on an impurity, and it didn’t bother me. It seemed to stay like that for years. But now that spot is larger, and the green is fuzzy! Even worse, it’s on a couple of other places around the edges of the coin. It reminds me of bronze disease, which I’ve seen photos of, but haven’t had in my collection--thank goodness. Can a silver denarius get bronze disease? Is there a silver equivalent? Can I treat it with the sodium sequicarbonate solution that I’ve seen mentioned on few sites for treating bronze disease? This is my favorite coin in my collection, any advice would be really appreciated.[/QUOTE]
