<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2442752, member: 46237&quot;]I have an uncirculated WWII era zinc coin that I would like to conserve. It has an extremely light zinc oxide film along the edge, and on a small part of the rim on the reverse. The rest of the coin is darkly toned with pristine surfaces. About as nice an example as I&#039;ve seen in zinc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am very familiar with conservation techniques for other metals, but I am hesitant to attempt conservation on zinc. Does anyone have any tips for conserving the coin? I&#039;d like to remove and arrest the corrosion safely without affecting the rest of the surfaces, especially the dark patina.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
