Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 03/19/2022 09:34 am Thanks Spence, CFrog, Cabowabo, John1, OldFordMan, T-Bop, McSchilling, and Makescents. Quote: ... I see a coin being eaten by this green or black stuff and want to help. But...... Most of your old timers (not age, long time collecting) say NO NO NO. ... That is a reflex to stop newer collectors from automatically destroying the desirability of a coin. (Sort of like taking an eraser to the Mona Lisa to remove a smudge. LOL) The obv of this coin was already a "Details" mess from the residue on it. It is still a "Details" coin but is much more appealing IMHO. Thanks for adding to the forum with your question. Quote: I would spot treat that area under the bust and rim. Thanks John1, Any suggestions other than the Verdi-care already applied? Quote: Yes nice save but I wood give it a 3 hour soak in the Verdi-Care . Make sure the coin is dry before you holder it . Thanks T-Bop, I've never done that but will give it a try. I'm guessing it may really penetrate the worst areas. ps. I was kind of hoping someone would be curious about the auction lot of unsearched "rolls" from the safety deposit boxes. This group actually had some decent varieties in it, this semi-key, and 5 or 6 1922D. Still hoping for a holy grail before I finish but I'm definitely not holding my breath. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 03/19/2022 09:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19944 Posts	Posted 03/20/2022 01:01 am WOW! Nice score, looks to be at least VF. This is exactly the type of application VC was designed for.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19944 Posts	Posted 03/20/2022 01:03 am PS - I would stop the conservation there. A tiny bit of original, left over grime is fine IMO. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

Alpha33 Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 03/20/2022 09:02 am As an admittedly old school crusty old fart, my knee jerk reaction to cleaning a coin is always NO. But in this case it is a clear improvement. Every rule has the exception. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/20/2022 09:04 am There is a very fine line between cleaning and conserving a coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
