Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 05/20/2018 12:06 am Go straight to the source - pm CCF member BadThad. He invented Verdi-care and would probably be able to give you the best advice as to what Verdi-Care would do. He could also tell if a post treatment or whole coin treatment would be best. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19963 Posts	Posted 05/20/2018 6:03 pm If you're going to crack the coin, you might as well conserve the entire thing. The small patch behind the ear looks very light and should be easily removed. There also appears to be a whitish, light carbonate-type verdigris all over the coin. VC will instantly remove that. I would soak it for 4 hours, flip and let the other side soak for 4 hours. Rinse with some fresh VC and let it dry for a few weeks. Take some before/after pictures out of the slab so we can gauge the results! GOOD LUCK! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

Steelers72 Pillar of the Community United States 1448 Posts	Posted 05/25/2018 12:15 am Did a 4 hour soak each side. I can note Verdicare had no adverse effects or reaction on the coin I took pictures from multiple angles and positions to try to capture how it is in hand. It has nice luster in hand. Here are the before pictures Before Edited by Steelers72 05/25/2018 12:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
