[QUOTE="TIF, post: 1889320, member: 56859"]I'm following the same advice you gave John. Apparently soaking in DI water and then drying in an oven is critical. I'm using VerdiCare as the final treatment. Last year I was trying to save a BD-ridden prutah. I sharply debrided the green stuff, cleaned with acetone, and let it dry before applying Ren Wax. Or maybe VerdiCare, don't recall. The corrosion accelerated greatly! Within days the green powder was covering almost the whole coin. Must've been residual moisture in the coin. Bad. Edited to add: I agree that the small dark green spots on John's coin look hard-- probably nothing to worry about if properly stored.[/QUOTE]
