<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2318695, member: 24314&quot;]If you don&#039;t get the green off; it will turn into a POS no matter how you store it!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the surface will be damaged under the green eventually and NOTHING will fix it.&nbsp; It is possible that may have happened already BUT IMO probably not.</p><p><br /></p><p>SuperDave is correct...I too cannot believe PCGS slabbed this coin w/o calling and offering to conserve it!&nbsp; IMO, this was 100% on the coin when it was slabbed.&nbsp; This does not EVER happen in a slab no matter what you do to it.&nbsp; It is the typical corrosion product that builds up around a brass snap on a leather object.&nbsp; The THICKNESS is the clue that this is old!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I apologize for being in such a rush to help in my first post that I MISSED THE FACT it was in a PCGS slab.&nbsp; That changes things.&nbsp; If my coin either:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Sell/trade for &quot;clean&quot; coin</p><p>2. Crack out and remove residue (First choice cause I like to clean things <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Grade will not change, eye appeal will soar.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Color looks totally artificial.&nbsp; Also, not that the &quot;green&quot; color is IN the surface rather than ON the surface of the OP.&nbsp; IMO, this green is harder to remove w/o looking funky.&nbsp; Furthermore, large cent and ancient collectors don&#039;t mind this color on their copper...it&#039;s called &quot;patina.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Note:&nbsp; I no nothing about ANACS conservation services.&nbsp; I do know that PCGS should have called you or left a sticker on your coin recommending it be conserved as NGC does (Saw one of these at the FUN show when a collector submitted it to Randy Campbell to be crossed and conservation at ICG for $10).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
