<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 8104191, member: 33176&quot;]Your question would be better in coin chat, but what you are seeing is probably verdigris.&nbsp; It will eat your coin up if you just leave it.&nbsp; Easy to deal with though.&nbsp; The distilled water is a good idea, but I would just start with hot tap water.&nbsp; Rinse the coin thoroughly to get off any grit or dirt or other chemical particles.&nbsp; Next brush with a soft toothbrush to make sure you get everything off.&nbsp; Now a soak in distilled water (1-2 days) would be good.&nbsp; Blot the coin dry (generally avoid rubbing or scrubbing) and dry it for a few hours in an oven set on low.&nbsp; Keep it in a capsule to keep it relatively dry.&nbsp; The one you are using now may be contaminated, so I would use a new one.&nbsp; Let us know how it goes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
