<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1222116, member: 30400&quot;]I&#039;m not sure it&#039;s worth NCS conservation and grading. If you are correct in your grade guess the coin has a market value of roughly $50-80. Better to enjoy it raw, IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the verdigris will come off quite nicely. It looks fresh (bright green), which also means it&#039;s active...not good. Buy a bottle of Verdi-Care (you can get it <a href="http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/products/verdi-care.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/products/verdi-care.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>). There is always a chance that the surface underneath has been damaged. Let&#039;s hope not. But it certainly will be if you do nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are before-and-after pix on two cheap coins I experimented it with. In both cases the verdigris was removed. The second coin shows a bright shiny spot. The verdigris had begun attacking the coin&#039;s surface toning. CT member Thad is the expert on this and may have more to add.</p><p>Lance.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/dumb%20stuff/b82df89b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/dumb%20stuff/ac2bdf21.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/dumb%20stuff/ff65009a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/dumb%20stuff/436cab57.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
