<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2467160, member: 26302&quot;]Um, you do know sir do you not that brass will not harm a bronze coin. Brass is much softer than bronze, so the brass at worst will leave brassy marks on the bronze that can be removed. I use brass tools all of the time on bronze coins, most ancient collectors do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, do you HAVE to use a brass brush on this coin? No, but if it will not come off with wood or plastic, and its still too think for VC to properly treat it, then I would use a sharpened brass tool to dig it out. If you wish to call me a so called &quot;expert&quot;, then we can discuss. I was shown how to use brass tools on bronze coins by some of the biggest names in ancient numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, overall, start with the least damaging approach. Start with wood and plastic and see if it will solve it. I am just saying if they do not work, (and I have had times they wouldn&#039;t), then there is nothing wrong with silver or brass tools on bronze. Of course, never use brass on silver or gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
