Kid, when this below is the coin, it has some chloride problems.
Put it in a glass on a plastic cap and fill a little bit ammonia in the glass and close the lid. If you see dark blue drops on the coin and the sick areas, pull it out and wash it very good with distilled water. Do this again until no more dark blue drops are to see on the coin. Watch the process the entire time! don´t need long time. The sick parts will later be light blue but the coin is stable than and this procedure is not dangerous as using BTA (MAKES Cancer!!). Best coating for such sick pieces is hot wax!
Thanks for the info. I wish you were my neighbour because id pay you to be restoring everything! HaHa
