sfwusc Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 1:49 pm Next question does anyone think VERDI-GONE™ Copper Conservation Fluid would fix this coin? Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 2:42 pm Hi, It's hard to comment on what you see in terms of verdigris--the pics are too small. Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 3:32 pm No matter what you do the surface is pitted and corroded. The only thing it might do is arrest any further corrosion. That being said if the colouring on the picks is correct some one has already made an attempt to clean this one.

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 5:18 pm I would say it has EF-40 details; but it definitely has "issues." Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 5:25 pm I've had success with Verdi-Gone and would give it a try. As stated above this coin has excellent detail but serious problems. If it were mine I'd try Verdi-Gone and then use Coin Care (or similar) to preserve it as best you can. After conserving, seal it from atmosphereic exposure. It's certainly worth a shot! ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19961 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 6:03 pm The corrosion on this coin looks to be very deep. Chances are the surface below is pitted where the verdigris has actually "pulled" copper from the surface. At this point, you don't have much to lose because in the current condition it loses a ton of value. VERDI-GONE™ should remove most of the verdigris, but you may not like what's underneath.
