<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1891529, member: 112&quot;]Do oil and water mix ? - No. Does water dissolve oil ? - No. Then how will water remove the oil from the coin ? - It won&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>wc - I agree about the Verdi-Care being the only choice to remove the verdigris. </p><p><br /></p><p>But what might be of even greater concern are the dark brown stains on the neck and hair. I can only assume they are due to environmental contamination of some kind and there are only 3 basic choices for what to use to remove them - distilled water, acetone, and xylene. And then you must consider what the coin might look like once those stains are removed. You may end up wishing you hadn&#039;t tried. </p><p><br /></p><p>So you are faced with a dilemma, one that is all to common - what coins are and what coins are not worth trying to clean ? Not knowing the true scarcity of this coin I cannot say what would be the better choice. But what might be one would be to leave the coin alone, sell it as is, and get another without the problems to replace it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
