<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 24738552, member: 15199"]It is a silly nomenclature if I ever heard one. It is not a "Disease" , it's a common chemical reaction that needs a metal like copper, moisture ( which may not appear as liquid water) and medium to high temperature. It is what people with non-ancient coins call Verdigris. If the coin is put into an air tight capsule, flip. etc.there should not be verdigris. If a person doesn't like capsules or flips, put them in a box or container lined with sanded copper tape strips. They will turn green long before a coin. If the tape does start to change, just replace. it. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
