<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 24580405, member: 112"]Bryan, from what you are describing it sounds like the coins are covered with verdigris. If it's green/greenish in color, that's almost certainly what it is. Verdigris is to copper what rust is to steel - in other words verdigris is the result of copper corroding.
