<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1804438, member: 112&quot;]First of all, regarding the comments about what a person likes - what is it we have been talking about here ? Coins, nothing else. And my comments are that there is no right or wrong in the coins that a given person may like. That&#039;s it.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for roof, I worked in construction my entire life. And I have restored and or replaced several copper roofs. And I have installed them on brand new multi-million dollar homes. So I am more than just a bit familiar with them. </p><p><br /></p><p>On restorations, some folks wanted what they called the &quot;ugly green &amp; brown&quot; removed so that it looked like a copper roof again. Then they wanted it treated so that it would not turn that &quot;ugly green and brown&quot; again. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course the opposite is also true, due to what people like and dislike. I have installed brand new copper roofs that the owners wanted treated so it would have that &quot;pretty green color&quot; and look like an old copper roof. </p><p><br /></p><p>Both things are possible of course, you can keep them looking like bright and shiny copper or you can make them brown and green. Or you can just let them alone and they will turn brown and green all by themselves for that is the nature of copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the fact remains, that in order for verdigris, the green, to form on copper the copper has to corrode. That is just a cold hard fact for that is the nature of verdigris. And if you remove verdigris from a coin or a roof then you can and will see what that corrosion has done to the copper. You may not see the pitting when the verdigris, your green patina, is there because the verdigris is covering up the pitting and hiding it. But remove it and will see it, every time.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there is nothing wrong with somebody liking coins that have that green patina on them. It&#039;s all just chocolate and vanilla <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
