sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 02/17/2024 08:31 am I do not see the tiny spot of green as presenting any long term threat. I have ancient bronze coins with a lot more green in area, but only presents as a very thin green layer, and have remained stable for over 30 years, with zero change. Coin pictured has an attractive patina, that should not be disturbed. Just keep this coin away from moisture or humidity, silica gel would help. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 02/17/2024 3:15 pm I don't believe this a Canadian Colonial Token https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6316.html Does it have a Charlton # ? I agree with 1960NYGiants Leave it as is, it's not unattractive. If you try to remove it you will most likely be disappointed. There may already be damage beneath the crud, or the patina may be removed along with the bad stuff, leaving you with an ugly token. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 02/17/2024 3:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
