psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1760 Posts	Posted 02/14/2021 10:18 pm Took a chance in an online auction with this one. Thought the 1 had the bar sticking out and fortunately it was the case. It does have some verdigris and I don't have VerdiCare. What is the best way to conserve this? Olive oil and a q-tip? Leave it overnight in olive oil? Sodium carbonate (also called soda ash) and sodium bicarbonate (Baking Soda) mix in water? Read a lot on this site and others without a clear answer.

Nice pick up! smat Report this Post to the Staff
psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1760 Posts	Posted 02/15/2021 12:17 pm Thanks for the feedback. I acetone soak my silver coins when I first bring them home. I thought I read that it could be detrimental to copper. Report this Post to the Staff
