john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 9:55 pm Are you asking if you should clean it or if it has been cleaned? A cleaned copper coin will generally have fresh bright "new" copper look on high points with the common browning in the field. If a copper coin has been dipped it often has a pinkish look to the cleaned copper, very ugly and not desirable at all. Copper that has been cleaned with a polish then aged often ends up with the gasoline rainbow effect but this also happens naturally, a trained eye can spot the difference immediately. Doug has this coin nailed. Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Scavenger Valued Member Canada 444 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 10:48 pm Would like to remove the verdigris, but I'm not interested if it will harm or look overly cleaned. Thanks for the help with variation. Report this Post to the Staff
