<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aubade21, post: 1988376, member: 44104&quot;]I can&#039;t tell from your picture, but with copper, it&#039;s important to know whether the issue is ON the coin or IN the coin. If the problem you&#039;re looking at is on the surface, you might have a chance of improving the coin with proper conservation. However, there are many issues that have already done damage to the surface over the past 200 years, and conservation will leave behind obvious signs of the former issue. As a side note, removing discoloration (I.e. carbon spots) on copper coins is nearly impossible, unless you plan to strip the coin and recolor it, which I don&#039;t recommend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
