1/12 Tanga 1901 KM# 13 I would have to say F it is not all that good looking. Is there any I can do
Any thoughts on it thank you daryl
cleaned with WD-40 soak for two days and soft brush
What to you think
Should I put in a sonic cleaner, or just leave. And put up. As always thank you Tony. I have been up for 20 to 22 hours and falling asleep. So I say good night all thanks again Tony
I would not clean this coin if it were mine, I love patinas like that. Unless you don't like it, then the sonic cleaner will probably help the some of that.
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!
It looks like a good VF+ with a nice toning but some unwanted tarnish on top of it, you could try to just do a gentle wash with water and soap.

The coin shows some cooper oxides (green spots) that should be treated:
Use WD40 and leave it there for one/two days. Than wash it with soap and an old brush.
Dry and store.
The nice patina will not be affected.

Yes I suppose the verdigris would spread if there was any moisture, so better to stop that oxidization without effecting the patina.
