[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 4849152, member: 87404"]Bronze Disease (often shortened to BD on here and elsewhere) is powdery in texture and parts can come off with little manipulation.

[ATTACH=full]1170902[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1170904[/ATTACH] Here's a coin of mine that has a speckled green verdigris coating like it was sprayed with it lol: [IMG]https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/collagemaker_20190302_123308638.jpg[/IMG] It's hard and stable. You're doing great with maintaining your coin by asking questions, and I think just keeping a frequent eye on this one to make sure it stays just the way it is is exactly what the doctor ordered.[/QUOTE]
