[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 4023482, member: 93702"]While handling a few coins I have neglected for the last few months I found this on my coin of Agrippa: [ATTACH=full]1058195[/ATTACH] Better image: [ATTACH=full]1058197[/ATTACH] This is only the second time I have found what I believe may be "bronze disease" - oddly enough both instances have been found on coins of Agrippa! My first coin has/had a more serious "infection" (that came with the coin.. and had taken hold very seriously prior to me owning the coin!) I thought I had that cured but it returned with a vengeance and may or may not destroy the coin. ..TBD. [B]This instance was found quite early so I feel should have a better chance of success.[/B] Here is what I have done tonight: 1) separated the coin from my collection 2) put the coin in a glass of Distilled water I do own Verdicare - although I had not applied it to this particular coin .. So is my best process to change the distilled water daily and see if I can brush/scrape off the green? Continue this for many weeks/months until I see things clear up - then add Verdicare? Thanks for your advice in advance....[/QUOTE]
