<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JJoyner, post: 4849097, member: 114727&quot;][USER=87404]@Justin Lee[/USER] Thank you! The green is in the recesses on both sides of the coin, around the legend, and in the deep pores along the edge. It actually makes the coin look nicer in my opinion, highlighting the portrait with its greenish hue. It is hard to see in some of the photos though, but appears similar to the green in that final Gallienus tet image you posted. The green is not spreading or aggressive from what I can see. It did come off with some prodding when I prodded the edge recesses with a toothpick. Would you recommend soaking it and brushing with a toothbrush as [USER=33176]@Kentucky[/USER] said? I also have heard of sodium sesquicarbonate as a neutralizing agent. What do y&#039;all think?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am relatively new to ancient coins and have been trying to make sure I am not overlooking their preservation. It&#039;s just been confusing to identify verdigris vs. bronze disease vs. patina, e.t.c. I appreciate all the feedback.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
