If you're a person with copper and has "problems" with green coins, I'd like to see them.

    Not an EAC expert but the first thing I would try is Acetone, if it comes off its PVC (what is what I think it might be)

    Agree. Acetone can't hurt and it may get rid of the green. You may need to use a toothpick to help things along.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    If you can locate some Blue Ribbon, that would probably be your best bet. One of the best (and safest for copper coins) products around, but the CFC's it contained led to it being banned. But it is still available with some searching.
    There was a lengthy thread last week about a new product called Verdigone that you also may want to check into, though looking at your coin, from what I can tell, I don't see any heavy verdigris.

    The coin don't look that bad.Maybe just an olive oil soak for a few months.
