<p>[QUOTE="Bill in Burl, post: 2650648, member: 23692"]I've found that, working with large cents, if the vertigris is hard or compacted that you can get it off with a combination of thorns and chemicals. However, once you get the hard stuff off, you will find that there is a hole/pit/depression where the metal has physically corroded into the copper. Many times, when I get the hard green crap, I just leave it like it is, because that is less noticeable than the black hole/pit that it leaves. The soft green oily stuff from pvc comes off easily with acetone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
