Very nice. I wish I could find coins like this for $10. This one looks like it has the start of BD that you need to address before it gets worse.

I found the deal at a shop in VCoins. Yes, I was wondering if that's BD or not. I'll be soaking it in DW here very soon.

 This is the Victorinus coin I purchased about a month ago. I have had it soaking in distilled water for almost the entire time since I received it. Would you guys say this is bronze disease for sure? I never had one before. Also, trying not to be impatient and I've been soaking and not to much brushing or picking at it. I don't want to mess up the silver. Here is the coin again when I first received. |

Dry thoroughly (oven on low, windowsill in sun) and watch the coin carefully - weekly over the next year. Don't put the coin back in the same flip it came from (better yet don't flip it). I was not sure it was BD from the photo but a coin with non-BD deposits removed won't regain them while BD can return. The best defense is looking at our coins frequently.

That's what I'm doing is letting is sit in a window sill. I also threw out the flip after I received it. Thinking about making a new attribution card as well.
After letting it sit for a few days, the green stuff doesn't seem to be coming back to what it once was. Although, there are still green marks on the coin.

Nice job! The color of those spots looks like bd but it sure looks better now.
