vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 10/08/2013 4:32 pm AU50 I'd soak it in acetone to get that gunk out of wreath. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/08/2013 11:26 pm Acetone may get rid of that green skunge out of the wreath, but I don't think so; it may be the start of the dreaded copper disease, I hope that I am wrong. One or two obvious dings, possibly a light strike on the wreath - leaf near 'O' of 'ONE' is weak. AU55 details (which I hope you can remove.) Report this Post to the Staff

Geohoarder Valued Member United States 339 Posts	Posted 10/09/2013 01:19 am that "green skunge" is a mineral called malachite. It is a carbonate and is thus sensitive to acids, acetone is basic....so I'm not sure it would work. I would try it on a junk coin first. Report this Post to the Staff
