Hi Ro

It's a great type. This one needs treatment for bronze disease right away. It looks like it has recurred or was not adequately treated .

 

Thanks, I cannot treat coins

 

Rare example and nice. You need to get some veridcare to treat it properly.

 

thanks i should buy that veridcare

Wow, ro => that coin is amazing!! (congrats)

... but yah, it looks like it needs a wee bit of tender care, plus the ol' Verdi-care treatment (good luck, coin-brother => that is a very cool coin)

 

Thanks how do i use verdi care

Mine is a little on the worn side, but I still like it.

 

Wow => that's a photo-finish ... but apparently the Soup Lady snuck-in for the win!!?

 

Ro, if the seller did not declare the BD I would be concerned enough to think about returning it.

 

oke

 

ok ... okay





Hey, do you know for sure that it is Bronze Disease? (is it flaky and comes off easily with a tooth-pick?)

Again, ro => if it is BD, then I sure hope that you're able to stop it from spreading, because that is a a very cool coin (good luck) ....

 

Ro, it depends upon how much you spent on that coin. If it was fairly cheap, I would maybe have a go at treating it. If it was expensive I would seriously think about returning it.

If it has active BD, all those green spots need to be dug out before treatment begins. My worry would be that you are going to find more under the surface.

 

I hope that coin can be salvaged-------it's such a cool example.
