Artemis737 New Member Slovenia 31 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 10:24 am Thanks, I may try VerdiCare, but first I will try distilled water and then pure Acetone. Any objections? In general, how does verdigris affect value? Also, what is the prognosis in case it is verdigris? Can it be eliminated or can it spread and eventually destroy the pin?
