<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 25463780, member: 112"]No it will not ! To understand why it won't, and can't, all you have to do is understand what verdigris actually is. The easiest way to do that is to think of it like this - verdigris is simply the result of copper corroding. Verdigris is the same thing to copper as what rust is to iron or steel. Both are formed on their respective metals as a result of moisture and the air causing the metal to corrode. Iron and steel get rust on them, copper gets verdigris on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So one coin that already has verdigris on it doesn't mean that other coins around it will get verdigris on them as well. The only way any coin can get verdigris on it is if and when there is sufficient moisture and air to cause that coin to corrode. Limit the amount of moisture and air flow as much as possible and it simply won't happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
