edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7360 Posts	Posted 08/06/2024 4:41 pm Have a couple gold coins but they are holdered. Wanted something I could actually handle and saw this one on ebay and it had some verdigris. Received the coin and gave it a quick acetone dip, and then some spot Verdi Care work with a thorn from my citrus tree. The verdigris flaked off with very little effort. Pretty happy with the results. The first two pics are the sellers, and the second two are mine. The coin looks exactly the same as I received it except now no verdigris.

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7360 Posts	Posted 08/06/2024 5:55 pm Thanks. Yea, I didn't buy it for condition, just a little diversification. Scratch doesn't bother me. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Bedrock of the Community United States 13261 Posts	Posted 08/06/2024 7:14 pm Well done - and nice in-focus photos as well. You could improve already impressive photos by tightening the crop. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Too many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time.

Just goes to show you that copper even in a minimal blend can still be affected.

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3042 Posts	Posted 08/07/2024 1:16 pm nice job! Good to see you post an e-bay buy. Remember when you and I were bidding against each other on large cents years ago? E-bay is not the same anymore. Edited by jerryc39 08/07/2024 4:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
