Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 01/30/2022 8:43 pm It appears to be a verdigris-afflicted coin that has been treated in an attempt to remove and/or stabilise the verdigris. So it probably won;t get worse, but there's nothing you can do to make it look better. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
