Kali Posted March 6 · Member Share Posted March 6 Hard to tell from the photo, it could be just patina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furryfrog02 Posted March 6 · Supporter Share Posted March 6 Could be or could be patina. A soak in distilled water wouldn't hurt. BTW - I LOVE that Victory reverse! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavius Posted March 6 · Supporter Share Posted March 6 It does not look like bronze disease to me. Looks like a copper sulfate or carbonate patina. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Conduitt Posted March 6 · Supporter Share Posted March 6 The patch above the bust might be, although more likely not. If you put it in distilled water you will probably find out quickly. Keep an eye on it and keep it away from other coins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ominus1 Posted March 6 · Supporter Share Posted March 6 ..can't tell if its powdery from a photo, but even if it is BD it wouldn't be hard to take care of with some Verdicare...:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ela126 Posted March 6 · Member Share Posted March 6 I’m going to say that’s not BD. Looks fine to me. BD is much brighter usually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Atherton Posted March 7 · Member Share Posted March 7 I'd leave the coin alone and keep an eye on it. From the photo I don't see any overt signs of BD ... but an unfriendly environment could trigger it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
