[QUOTE="Tassie Daz, post: 130492, member: 334"] I thought the green would be the oxide of the copper in the brass of the coin. Either way, the diesel seems to cut through that and as you scrape off the softened stuff you end up with a hard dark coating that then has to be scraped off with something sharp. As I said I used a Stanley knife but I guess you could use any number of things to do the job. I'm about to take the coins out of the diesel for the final time so when I've done that and wiped them down I'll see if I can get a photo loaded up for you. [/QUOTE]
