I don't think it would hurt. Would probably help.

Can't hurt, but doubt this would ever straight-grade no matter what you do to it.

Looks like deterioration of the surface for some reason - I don't think anything would help that.

It's worth a shot. It would probably help.
Errers and Varietys.

Give it a try and see, just no rubbing on it though. Please post the results and your soaking process as you do it.

Uncertain about the red stained areas, I can't tell what that is. Overall, the coin would be improved with VC to remove the very light verdigris spread over the surfaces.

Wow, GIANT improvement! The color looks much more natural and the little bits of verdigris are gone. Thanks for using VC and for posting the before/after pictures!  Edited by BadThad

Did you try Acetone first? Looks like some raised crud that might come off.

Order of treatment does not matter. The coin cannot be restored to a non-details condition.  |
