jakesis Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 8:30 pm I am interested in grading this, but also have a question - is this verdigris? Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 8:39 pm Yes, that is verdigris. I'd say, around VG. Report this Post to the Staff
jakesis Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 8:45 pm If the coin is in its own cardboard/plastic casing, is it safe around the rest of my coins? I was told to be careful with verdigris being near my other copper coins. Is it not worth keeping this one? Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 8:49 pm Coin can only catch it from another if they are touching. Would take this one out of the flip (eventually - not urgent), brush the loose stuff off and dip it in acetone (that should inactivate the verdigris) and then put into another flip.

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 8:50 pm I would term it more along the lines of corrosion. Your coin may have been in the ground, and probably would get a "details" annotation for environmental damage. The excessive wear to the denticles, especially on the reverse, likely consign it being graded no better than G. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
