adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 11:09 pm Hello CCF, This coin has some corrosion going on and as you can see more easily in the third picture the green stuff. Its been soaked thoroughly in acetone which didn't change anything. Does any one have any suggested products that might help with preservation? I'm assuming there is no removing of the green stuff? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Adam Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 11:59 pm Products like VerdiCare, Coin Care, and Blue Ribbon are all meant to remove verdigris. Letting a long term soak in xylene may help as well. CarrsCoins has some hands on experience with early copper preservation, let's see what he says. Suffering from bust half fever.

And I like the answer from the first poster depending on which route you want to go. There are some knowledgeable people on here. Good luck on your decision. Report this Post to the Staff
