<p>[QUOTE="coppermania, post: 1325183, member: 18304"]I would use acetone to get the visual verdigris off first, then use a light oil to neutralize whatever microscopic particles remain so it doesn't return. Even using acetone again to get most of the oil off leaving only traces in the pores of the damage. Much like pulling a weed and leaving the root, you have to spray it with poison, or it will return. The coin is still damaged at some level, sure, but not a total worthless coin like the before picture. </p><p><br /></p><p>Either pick up a coin raw with a little schmutz on it and remove it yourself or probably pay someone a premium for doing it before you saw it.
