erkle Pillar of the Community 1119 Posts	Posted 01/01/2012 9:34 pm it is one from the fire, I dont know if the fire has burnt layers away from the copper or if something has melted onto it, I tried to clean it the same way as another that was covered in rubber/plastic type stuff but it still has what seems to be a coating over it? over all the penny, any ideas if its now metal damage or still layered with something, under the loupe it looks layered.

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 01/02/2012 12:07 am Looks like fire corrosion to me, where the temperature wasn't high enough to actually melt the copper, but did cause accelerated (and very patchy) corrosion, probably form coming into contact with hot ashes or other objects. The greenish spots are telling me the metal itself is definitely reacting with something, forming corrosion products. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Will make a nice pocket peice And look at it every start of the fire season to remind you to clean out the gutters and do the fire breaks Report this Post to the Staff
