Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 02/28/2026 9:21 pm Kk if you are dead set on this pathway, then about about verdicare? As you may know, it gets recommended for US copper coins frequently here on CCF.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24878 Posts	Posted 03/01/2026 09:16 am As gxseries said, they are just fine as is. An acetone soak and verdicare is all that you can do to help them. Anything more vigorous would change the color and they would be ruined. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
