<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 2318260, member: 36864"]Nice coin and I agree with the grade. It will be relatively stable the way it is if it is stored properly. It could use a little Verdi-care help. The free is verdigris which is an organic substance. Verdi-care will halt its growth and protect it from further damage. It will get worse over time, but maybe not in your lifetime in the holder. The green will be gone, but a slightly darker surface would remain. Where it is located, I would think that the darker surface would appear completely natural. This would be my approach before sending it out for conservation; just too many bad experiences and too costly for me to go back. And conservation does not automatically get a net grade. As lone as the coin isn't improperly cleaned, it will get a numerical grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
