<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3366064, member: 19463"]It is always possible to remove bronze disease and the continued existence of the coin requires it be done but what you will be doing is more amputation than treatment. You can not turn what was diseased metal back to solid and healthy state. What is left when you are finished will be horridly ugly and not worth owning by many standards but the other choice is to put it out of its misery.
