<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 1673339, member: 33176"]OK, not an expert on this, but I am a chemist. Verdigris is evidence of a chemical reaction which will continue if more reactants are present. Reactants include moisture and substances that can be in the air. So if you protect it from moisture (easy enough with dessicant packs) and air (moderately impossible) you will stop any further degradation. Now, you can clean up the verdigris that is present and protect it from further damage. I don't know if he would mind, but you could contact one of our members called BadThad who makes a product called VerdiCare which I use and have faith in. Either contact Thad or read some about VerdiCare (Google it) to get more information or at least visit a coin shop and get a plastic holder to put it in to protect it from mechanical (and a lot of further chemical) harm. Beautiful coin and great family momento, enjoy it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
