<p>[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 1645577, member: 40340"]Looking much better already. One thing i did find very usefull for this was either a toothpick (wooden) or bamboo skewer. While still in the solution I would poke a bit at the verdigris clumps and most came loose easily (I did not pry or scrape at the coin just poked a bit) also a little work with a Q-tip helped alot too. Just remember if you pry or scrape even with the toothpick/skewer you could pull away the patina with the verdigris leaveing copper spots. Ending with a "Cleaned" coin vs an conserved one. The line between cleaning and conserving is very fine on a project like this one <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> This could destroy any resale value. (this was not a consideration with my experiments). I just ask that you please be careful. I would hate one of my experiments to lead to the destruction of such a nice LC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
