DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/24/2012 10:15 pm I like this coin, but I'm concerned about the blue patches (arrows). Is this "bronze disease", or a stabler form of verdigris? Thanks for your expertise--trying to learn here. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/24/2012 10:20 pm I was wondering about how it sits above the surface, and BD tends to "burrow" into the coin. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 01/24/2012 11:02 pm Yeah the BD kind of eats into the coin. I have a bronze of Claudius I that had small deposits of BD. When I finally eliminated them, the tiny craters the BD made were visible. Edited by VisigothKing 01/24/2012 11:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/25/2012 06:57 am I have often considered if VerdiCare would help on this coin. It has been used with success with U.S. bronze coins, would it help here? Report this Post to the Staff
