<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 535072, member: 15110&quot;]I have a stong opinion about these coins, but just my opinion Idhair.&nbsp; If you have no experience with &quot;fixing&quot; coins you could send to NCS.&nbsp; I personally would not do this, because I work on coins similiar to this (not with PVC corrosion per say, but with grime and verdigris) almost every night after work- it&#039;s free therapy.&nbsp; I soak in mineral oil for months at a time, and use a rose thorn to remove multiple times until all gone.&nbsp; Rose thorn must be green (fresh) and sharp as possible.&nbsp; I use about 5-7 each time I do this.&nbsp; Readily throwning away if tip gets damaged as this can scratch the coin with a half broken off tip.&nbsp; I place the coins in an Intercept holder to stabilize and hold a loope with one hand and thorn with the other.&nbsp; Constantly turning the coin to remove grime at the proper angle (pulling toward you and never pushing away).&nbsp; If I were you, assuming you have never done this I would put coin away in plastic cup of mineral oil for a couple months and start practicing on common wheats in EF or worse grades so no real loss.&nbsp; After you have done a couple 50-100 times you should be good enough to &quot;fix&quot; this coin.&nbsp; I would then use Verdigone.&nbsp; Could you Verdigone first and this may be easier.&nbsp; Sorry for the long response, but I look at these coin sand would love to help it.&nbsp; I would definitely not leave it as is.&nbsp; Good luck and do what you feel best about.&nbsp; Great coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
