<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2776709, member: 112&quot;]I can&#039;t tell if your medal is coated with lacquer or not based on the pictures. But you may be to check it yourself with actually doing anything to the coin. On the rev, there is a bit of verdigris on the crescent moon by the left knee, and tiny bit more, along with a speck of red, to the right of the steeple in the upper right quadrant.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you look at these bits of verdigris closely with a loupe, you should be able to tell if they are coated with something or not. If not, under a loupe they should have a slightly fuzzy or rough looking appearance to surface of them. If coated, they should be smooth and glossed over.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do that and it may just answer your question as to if it is coated or not. If it is, then a soak in xylene should take it off. But there is a specific procedure that should be followed if you try that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
