<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2482733, member: 66"]Bingo. Copper is reactive. when it reacts with things in the air it forms copper compounds. Most copper compounds are green or blu-green. when the acetone and white cotton swab are used on the copper coin some of the copper compounds get picked up by the white cotton and a green or blu-green color is seen. Has nothing to do with PVC or PVC plasticizer residue. Just natural copper oxidation. I haven't seen a 2X2 with a PVC film window in over forty years, and they were old 2X2's then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
