[QUOTE="houston_ray, post: 29758, member: 1943"]Thanks for the advice on my previous query. Good comments. Another guy told me that if I dipped the coins in acetone, it would remove any remaining contaminates from the surface of the coin. Another knowledgable person said to soak the coin in olive oil and carefully scrape it with a green rose thorn. Another online collector said to soak the coin in ammonia to arrest the spread. I'm ok with not trying to remove the existing green gunk (since it's minor) but I'd lke to try to arrest or just slow down the spread. At the same time, it has taken 25 years for these little spots to show up.....if all they did was double in another 25 years, I might be dead by then anyway....:)[/QUOTE]
