Colleagues behind the big pond, have a nice new week.

    Until 💓 the heart cries when this coin has a green disease. Now I have it in my hands and I'm considering what to decide.

every decision will be painful:

a) Leave her to her own devices and the caravan will move on

b) just preserve with oil and stop the course of the green plague

c) anyway, it is already irreversibly damaged, throw it in a thinner - then an ultrasonic bath, but it will forever have the adjective "cleaned"

 

Kill it with fire!

 

No, really. If you happen to have a butane torch, you could try to burn the green stuff off. Just don't overheat the coin.

Yes, difficult situation but keep in mind that your example is not a high value coin even without the verdigris. If you choose to treat and attempt to address it, Verdi-Care  is the best product on the market and a good option. Read about it, consider the cost and then decide if you want to proceed.  Look it up and you will find it as I don't want to promote any particular site to purchase it.

Hi colleague.

Not a single Indian will die under my hands -save all-heal them all, look at my profile picture.

The disease was great, and to leave the coin to ourselves would only be to destroy it.

The rule here is "don't wait", heal and it's really hard for copper.

Yes, the patina is gone and the green disease.  I put a coin in natural oil on the light in the window - the patina will jump out like a "fable Phoenix from the ashes"

The green plague is at hand - the coin will go into oil to acquire a beautiful patina.  But it will always be "cleaned" with the addition.

Means used:

A small gas burner the size of a lighter has a nozzle of blue high pressure burning gas ( that's the blue flame + special non-flammable pad + magnifying glass)

Rubber gloves, tissue paper and WD-40.

 

The coin in my hands casts a rainbow of color depending on the inclination, I let it take on a new patina in natural oil.

Long live the Indian.   Or did I make a mistake somewhere?

I killed the green plague - with fire - today after the race.  It won't hurt anymore.

Yes, what you did was definitely an improvement and that is just one technique. I just suggested the product because professional conservators in museums and elsewhere use and speak highly of this product. It can be used for other composition metal coins with historic significance or value as well when there are few alternatives.
