[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2398247, member: 24314"]Image 0464 shows blobs of soft green crud (verdigris) on a half cent. Image 0465 shows another part of the coin with a bigger blob of verdigris pushed up off the surface. Image 0466 shows the verdigris removed from Image 0464 using a sharpened toothpick and proprietary chemicals (:hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious: Only teasing, its MS-70). Image 0468 shows what happens to the surface of a coin when the SOFT GREEN CRUD sits on it too long! The effect shown (corrosion) can be removed but not w/o striping the coin and its beautiful natural color and luster. Conservators would only work on that one area to lessen the effect while saving the eye appeal. Anyone disagree? If not, I'll stick to MY long time definitions of corrosion, verdigris, and patina. :cigar:[/QUOTE]
