asyrp43 Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 01/30/2019 08:10 am I was thinking about having this one graded. I wanted to make sure it hadn't been cleaned before I did. There is a lighter area in front of the face. That was the area I was concerned about. The green spot beside the U is stuck on the surface. Is there a safe way to remove that? Thanks for your help! -Allen Report this Post to the Staff

ty88ty2 Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 01/30/2019 10:34 am I dont know if that green is verdigris or just some gunk. I would try verdi-care if it is verdigris and then an acetone soak. If its just gunk, acetone alone should remove it. Report this Post to the Staff
