<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 1973439, member: 17261&quot;]It&#039;s more about the thickness/degree of the verdigris than the amount. The severity of the verdigris (light, moderate, heavy) is an important consideration in verdigris conservation because ALL verdigris removes metal during formation. The thicker the layer, the more damage has been done to the surfaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins with heavy verdigris are generally not a good idea to work on since the underlying surfaces are usually badly pitted and damaged. VC will generally NOT remove such verdigris. The only time I&#039;ve seen it worth addressing is with ancient coins where you either have an unrecognizable hunk of corroded metal or you have something you can ID and collect. For those types of coins more aggressive cleaning methods are required and VC will be of little help except perhaps as a protectant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
