<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 523291, member: 5233&quot;]I don&#039;t think there is anything you can do to improve this coin.&nbsp; The damage is done and that&#039;s just the way it is.&nbsp; Your original post says the coin had verdigris to begin with and therefore would have been destroyed had you not taken some kind of action.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the initial treatment damaged the coin further (which happens sometimes...it&#039;s just part of the risk) and instead of cutting your losses there you tried to &quot;fix&quot; it.&nbsp; Well, the truth is, you can&#039;t fix it...there is no fix.&nbsp; Your best bet is to simply stop tinkering with the coin and accept that what you have is as good as that coin is going to be.&nbsp; DON&#039;T put anything else on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, with the verdigris this was a problem coin...so you really didn&#039;t ruin a good coin...you just changed what kind of a problem it is.&nbsp; Could the verdigris have been removed without further damaging the coin in the first place?&nbsp; Maybe, it depends on how bad it was.&nbsp; But, it&#039;s too late now.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I would do is what others have said.&nbsp; Put this coin in a place where it will slowly tone over the next few years.&nbsp; Maybe that will improve it&#039;s eye appeal a little bit.&nbsp; But, it will always be a problem coin and therefore IMHO it will never realize the values that even the &quot;junk F/VG grades&quot; go for.&nbsp; Generally, people will pay less for one of these than they would for one of those good &quot;junk&quot; examples.&nbsp; It&#039;s just the way it is.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t mean to criticize you, but this is what I feel is the truth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
