<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3390216, member: 112&quot;]As I see it the issues are about the same as they are with a copper coin - verdigris and toning. Toning can be slowed down with proper storage, and additional damage from verdigris can be stopped by removing moisture from the equation, or at least reducing moisture as much as possible. If you could figure out a way to do those 2 things you could keep it just as it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>But given that the thing is I dunno, what, roughly 15 inches by 12 inches, that&#039;s not so easy to do. If you could find a Tupperware container big enough for it to fit inside then you could simply add a silica gel pack and pretty much maintain it as it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you could remove the verdigris, and the toning for that matter, but my question would be - why bother ? I mean you really have nothing to gain by doing so. Proper storage will slow the toning down so much that it won&#039;t really matter, and removing or reducing moisture will stop any further damage from verdigris - and since what is done is already done - well, like I said, why bother ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
