<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1820215, member: 112"]Because the acid in it is reacting with the copper. When PVC residue is first deposited on a coin it is a clear, oily like substance. But in time it turns green due to that reaction. But at that point it isn't verdigris yet, it is still oily, slimy. </p><p><br /></p><p>Later after it dries, yeah I agree it can turn into verdigris, but it doesn't always do so. PVC residue can dry clear, or green, or tan, or even dark brown. Verdigris on the other hand is always green.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
