Baltas Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 04/27/2014 6:44 pm Thank You! I don't like this "shiny" surface, but I think the time will solve this problem... :D That spot was only some "dirt", but what does it mean "BD"? Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4981 Posts	Posted 04/27/2014 6:56 pm it may have been waxed, I can possibly see some whiteish wax buildup on it. if so, you could take the wax of with heat or acetone. BD is "bronze disease", a corrosive thing that happens to coin. the little green spot on the obverse may be BD. rub it with you fingernail. if it comes off as a powdery type substannce it is BD.
