Canacoins Pillar of the Community Canada 955 Posts	Posted 10/29/2017 01:07 am First off , not to sure what caused the corrision. Just time or ? I noticed a few things that I didn't when I acquired . Are these "die trails"? There is very little wear the coin . All I can see is on his bicep and the chest area. This looks like "PVC" damage to me . Technical grade ? Thx in advance Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/29/2017 01:28 am Those lines do resemble a Trail Die. My first step would be a pure acetone bath for at least a few hours (24 is easier for me schedule-wise). Maybe some of that junk can be removed.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 10/29/2017 02:59 am Could be bronze disease. Pity. Google: 'Verdigris treatment' I have seen lots of this type of tokens, in otherwise really nice condition, but with very detracting corrosion or deep scratches or hits. I have the same. This one has all three, but I have seen much worse. Still a keeper, but it must be kept away from the rest of your collection until it has been treated. Report this Post to the Staff
Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 10/29/2017 7:09 pm What a shame, it was once a high grade example, then someone beat it to death and buried it. With environmental damage, corrosion, and gouges it's a tough one to call a keeper. Not the toughest year of the series to find in mint state if you choose to replace it.
