AFTER:
This was using MS70, dipping and not rubbing it in, and then olive oil rolled on with a Q-tip.
The image looks orange because I shot the picture in sunlight the coin is much darker chocolate color.

Seriously, though, that's done the job on that green rubbish good and proper. Nice work.
Question: Is the coin the same overall colour now as it was before? - I realize what's happened with the photography environments but is it?

Yes, the overall color is still pretty much the same kind of a dark coco color. I kind of like the scar under his eye. Makes it look like he walked into the wrong pub

Give it a few months Lloyd....I'm sure we'll outsource it soon.
MS70 - COIN CLEANSER
I wouldn't recommend this stuff on high grade material though.....perfect for this thread's application though.
Edited to say: It usage is detectable on high grade coppers especially, and of course, the coin will be devalued by knowledgeable buyers......it does tend to put a "sheen" on the copper.....kinda like fake lustre.
This coin will never be sent for grading, it just please me to see that green stuff gone and not doing anymore damage to the coin
Yes, while I like shooting coins in the natural sun light it can make them look funny. It was the angle of the sun when I took it. I have to use what daylight we have...LOL! gets dark about 5 o' clock
