He can go for it. The green will be gone, but the corrosion pits still in the coins.
The concept we are saying here is that the damage will always be there. There is no way to restore them to have nice smooth non-damaged surfaces again.
Its like if you have a rusty and pitted tool, you can get rid of the rust, but the pits are there to stay. Unless yuo sand them off. And in this case, sanding the coins will erase a lot more details.
