SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 2:15 pm I just found this coin roll hunting, and it has some very unfortunate corrosion damage. Is there anything I can do for it besides acetone, or should I just leave it as it is? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 3:16 pm Would it be your recommendation to just leave it alone then, jbuck? Or is it worth it to remove the verdigris? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 3:25 pm Look really close at the black spot in the A on the reverse. That is were I suspect the verdigris has eaten through the plating. If I am wrong, then you might want to try Verdi-Care.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 3:50 pm I think you're correct. I'll leave it alone then. Is it worth submitting for authentication anyway? Someone on the error and variety forum said there are fewer than 10 known of this variety, but I don't know if it has any significant monetary value. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 7:52 pm I'd leave it alone. Do the wrong thing, and turn back into spendable change. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 9:19 pm I agree with coop. Once a coin gets to the state yours is in the best course of action is to put it in a 2x2 and leave it alone. Any moisture from any type of chemical will hasten the zinc rot.

Fin New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 04/30/2020 2:18 pm I have never seen a slab with the words, "Properly Cleaned." I have never seen a slab with the words, "Properly Conserved." I have seen many slabs with the words, "Improperly Cleaned." Is there even any way to find out if you have a coin that has been properly conserved or properly cleaned? Report this Post to the Staff
