<p>[QUOTE="BadThad, post: 1451149, member: 17261"]The verdigris is pretty fresh and looks light to moderate from what I can see. VC would be your best choice and it should work well. I would use a 24 hour soak followed with the toothpick method (while UNDER fluid still). Do NOT rinse the token when done, simply let it dry for a few days (both sides) and put it into a holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you choose to simply use acetone, that's fine too. It will NOT remove the verdigris but it will dehydrate it which will stabilize the verdigris. Be sure to put it into an airtite holder right after dehydration. DO NOT USE WATER OR ANYTHING ELSE AFTER USING ACETONE.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
