<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 1324784, member: 16994&quot;]Hey gang! </p><p><br /></p><p>I know there are a LOT of coin purist out there. I appreciate your position. Here is a position that I am sometimes confronted with. From time to time I come across a collection of coins that was improperly stored... either in PVC holders or in a place with lots of moisture... say a basement. </p><p><br /></p><p>I see coins relatively often that end up green and look like the coin below. In this condition I think everyone would agree that this coin is not collectible. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]150883.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]150884.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Depending on the cause of the &quot;green&quot; whether it be PVC or light verdigris I have found that applying a light oil... such as Coincare can dramatically increase the eye appeal... and value of such a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin came out of a collection that was stored improperly and ALL the coins were varying degrees of green. The coin was soaked in acetone and what was not removed was removed with a que tip covered in Coincare. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the final result. </p><p>[ATTACH]150885.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]150886.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=CONFIG]0[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
