[QUOTE="LaCointessa, post: 7824805, member: 87186"]Thanks for the feedback and advice [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER] - Yes, that is what I understood from your post and why I am pretty sure I am seeing Bronze Disease on these coins. And also, [USER=82549]@gsimonel[/USER], thank you, too. I will do as you both suggest. The first three rinses with agitation of the coins released green colored water with some chips of whatever else was loose on the surface of the coins. Then after a few hours, some other loose debris fell off with just a tinge of green color. After that, I took the first set of photographs on the three towels. As I said, some coins were separated from the others for the second soak. The very green ones I sat on a saturated paper towel and then covered with the distilled water. I don't know exactly why I did that.
