malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 06/01/2009 6:06 pm I have 2 coins (forgive me if I have posted them before) I know where they are from but I am not sure of individual grades or values. I did look up the Portugal coin on ebay and there was one listed as "rare" but they all say that right? thanks for any help malissa Report this Post to the Staff

malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 06/01/2009 8:22 pm ALSO, I am curious if that green stuff is verdigris or if it is removable somehow? I'd rather not experiment that way but I am curious. thanks Report this Post to the Staff

The green stuff does look like the start of verdigris. 1819-R Brazil 10 Reis, KM#314.1. I'd grade this one at EF-40, value about $22.00. Both very nice coins. Report this Post to the Staff
malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 06/04/2009 01:06 am thanks echizento, so if that is the start of verdigris is there anything that can be done? Or would attempting anything ruin the coin? Report this Post to the Staff

DeanTracey New Member Ireland 12 Posts	Posted 07/12/2013 12:02 pm It coul also be PVC damage. It is removable by soaking the coin in some acetone. This does not damage the coin it will only dissolve soft things. It is a very safe way of cleaning coins just don't rub the coin or brush it. You can pick it up at any pharmacy.
