CoinOS Valued Member 269 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 07:36 am That 1919 has been at ground zero of quite a few atomic bomb blasts, but it's still a scarce coin. Report this Post to the Staff
aeromedic New Member Australia 40 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 07:44 am I do have some great coins in what I feel is "very fine" condition. I'm hoping that if I'm careful in the cleaning process, these will retain their value when I sell those that I don't need. #128526; Report this Post to the Staff
Basil Pillar of the Community Australia 1041 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 5:24 pm I would soak the 1919 in Olive Oil for a few Months. Any chance of a Pic. of the Obverse? Edited by Basil 02/22/2018 5:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 02/23/2018 07:28 am You did a great job using these time proven techniques in conserving a coin that would have been a junker. I would continue with the Olive oil bath until all the verdigris is removed and then try a toothpick on the stubborn areas. After that leave it on the windowsill for a few weeks, turning every few days and the lightened areas should re-tone nicely. KK Report this Post to the Staff

I had a similar one that was in a Tobacco Tin I purchased off ebay a few years back,genuine seller that actually found the Tin in his Fathers garage. After a couple of Months in Olive Oil I stopped the Verdi.growing but the Coin was stuffed,heavily pitted under the Verdi.,unfortunately yours will probably be the same but you have to at least try to save it.
