<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 1888680, member: 17261&quot;]V nickels are 75% copper, the green is plain old verdigris, aka copper corrosion. Those old tubes are made of hard plastic, they contain no PVC.</p><p><br /></p><p>The verdigris is heavy, there will be pitting under much of it. First check to make sure there are no key dates in there. After that, there&#039;s not much you can do - they will be damaged using any sort of chemical removal process. A guy on ebay sells stuff he calls &quot;Safe Clean&quot;, it might be able to remove some of the corrosion. It will take a harsh cleaning to have any effect on verdigris that thick.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
