Is there any hope for this coin or will this product just turn it black?  |

I got rid of the one spot at 10 oclock with using a dental pick very carefully. I've probably rubbed a bit too much on the arrows trying to get rid of the green corrosion but I think it looks better....  Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

I've been experimenting with Dellers Darkener too. That stuff's pretty cool actually. I had gotten some Indians off ebay that arrived looking like brand new pennies. They dont look so gaudy now. Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

It does the best on thin layers of verdigris or oxidation. To get some of the crustier bits, I'll poke at them with a soft plastic toothpick or thorn or something while the solution is on the surface to avoid damaging the patina or create scratches from rubbing.

Yeah, don't scrub. There's only so much that can be done for big hardened chunks of corrosion. At the most, poke at it.

Raymo - 1 or 2 more treatments and you'll have an 82 proof. LOL!

Raymo, for the 82... what was the application time? Did you buff, blot, stipple, rub clockwise or counterclockwise? I have a few here that I need to try.

My best results with an 82 that beat up is to toss it in my copper bucket and slyly replace it with a nice one....voila baby !  Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***
