This one has some verdigris on the back which I'm guessing will impact the grade. Any advice on how to treat it?

Thank you!

This coin has grievous bronze disease, which affects the value about as seriously as deliberate post mint damage.
Otherwise F10.

The verdigris has eaten well into the surface and there will be unsightly pitting if and when it is removed. I'd just soak it in acetone to try and neutralize the verdigris and not waste too much time on this coin.

Good/Very Good Details - Environmental Damage. This coin has very little value in the condition it is in and no amount of treatment/conservation will change that.

Good, Details, Corrosion.

Don't waste much time on this, other than an acetone soak to delay the continued corrosion.
