KerryKz Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 07/15/2022 6:42 pm So I have a few coins from the 180ps that have green death issues. So I figured Why not try to clean it off. So if (if) I could get most or all of the ick.. Will this stop the decaying or will it just start to regrow. And are coins with pitting even worth saving? Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 01:31 am Those coins are toast. Verdi-care can remove light verdigris, but I haven't had luck with it on anything deeper than surface level. Suffering from bust half fever.
