<p>[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 1736856, member: 44140"]That green color if unreactive with Verdi-care, could be organic in nature. This stuff only reacts with the oxidized metal. That green could very well be a deposit from the environment over the centuries. Xylene could probably remove some or all of it, but I believe at that point you risk destroying the patina, making it blotchy or stripping it off completely.As long as the "green" doesn't appear to be spreading or otherwise reacting on the coin, its better to leave it alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
