<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 523304, member: 12965&quot;]What it looks like to me is the verdigris was removed and it left spots and when you used Dellers on it, the other areas reacted differently. You have 2 choices:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Leave it alone and give it 20 years to retone back to normal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. Soak it in tomato juice for an hour, then water &amp; baking soda for another hour, rinse well and then recolor it with Dellers. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The tomato juice will remove the coating of the grey area and give you a totally clean coin and the Dellers will then color evenly. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Your best bet is the first choice but if you are in a rush to get it looking better, then #2 works but even I would not recommend it on such a valuable coin. It&#039;s one thing to clean crud off old beat up coppers but that is not an old beat up copper, but it&#039;s your call. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
