sfitzernator Valued Member Australia 271 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 11:55 pm Nice one Serial! Still lacking one in my collection.If you did not know that it was in the lot, then it truly must have been a deceased estate. Any other finds? Report this Post to the Staff
enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 11:57 pm If it was mine id oil it and then acetone rinse. Most of the verdigris looks pretty light and would probably come off. Report this Post to the Staff

serial Pillar of the Community Australia 539 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 02:07 am maybe I will just ebay it. I don't like cleaning coins unless they become bullion how much should I get/ask? Report this Post to the Staff
appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 02:37 am Oiling the coin would get rid of all that Verdigris,neutralise it which is conserving the coin & stopping further deterioration. $100 to $125 on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 11:54 am Decades ago, there never used to be much of a problem with altered date '25 pennies. There is now. From the pictures, this one looks OK to me, but have a look at the '2' in this case, at 20x. Just for now, the '2' looks alright to me. I am optimistic, but it would be my inclination to take it to I.S. Wright Sydney, or some equally respected dealer, and have it confirmed. Report this Post to the Staff
serial Pillar of the Community Australia 539 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 12:04 pm looks fine to me but here is close up for 2nd opinion Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 12:10 pm I am now much happier. There is an equal amount of very minor verdigris disturbance around ALL FOUR digits. No one who is interested in altering dates, would attempt ALL four of them. This coin has been confirmed in my mind as genuine. My compliments to the photographic effort.

serial Pillar of the Community Australia 539 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 12:20 pm thankyou, I have decided that it will be going up on ebay soon however as I just don't know how to conserve copper properly. hopefully I will be able to get some nice unc silver pre-dec coins with the proceeds Report this Post to the Staff
