<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 513053, member: 15110&quot;]The is an important coin, as I inhereted this from my grandmother and eyed as a kid my whole life. First coin I ever submitted and came back EF-40 PCGS. The thing is the grime on the reverse and the verdigris under the &quot;0&quot; on the 1909 drive me totally crazy. I have gotten quite good at removing this kind of stuff with mineral oil and a rose thorn (must have sharp unbroken point-not blunt, and please practice on a lot of junk if you feel inclined to do so). I am confident that this coin would look significantly better. Any opinions. I worry about the verdigris growing. I will not scratch the coin- I am confident of this. I just don&#039;t like the angst of removing and doing all this work and resubmitting. However, I will feel proud if it comes out well. Those who have never done this will undoubtedly say NO, NO, NO. Many guys at NGC do this often and well. I have used a product &quot;Verdigone&quot;, which removes verdigris well on AU or below coins, which I would use most likely after I got off the grime with a rose thorn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
