Developing My Newest Coin Product! Verdi-Care

I wanted to test another impossible coin. I soaked this ancient coin for 46 hours. As expected, not much verdigris (if any) was removed. Once again, don't expect miracles!

I have found this yesterday on the beach, just a nickel...
but if you need material to experiment with, I dont mind posting it to you...

Thad that verdi care works wonders keep up the good work !

BT, I haven't finished reading the whole thread, but, my question involves the verdi-gris, that is so common on the older coins, and imn my case, the FE/IHC, which is my passion,as issaid. I use mineral oil, and soak, but I don't like the "oily, greasy feel, and look they have afterwards, even long afterwards. I have seen pictures of coins that are clean, and nice looking, even in G4. that means that something can be done, or does it mean that the coins were that nice, in spite of the wear?
You might give a "means to acquire' some of the "VERDI-CARE", so I can give it a try. I don't have any intention og sellingant if my tribe, so if it turnd their face red, then I won't be upset. They are just part of stayingg alive for 100 years, or more. No "rocking chair" for me!
Thanks,
Dick

Dick,

Thanks for your interest! The product will soon be available through Wizard Coin Supply. I'll let everyone here know first when it becomes available. It will be sold at an introductory price to start....so act fast because that pricing won't last long.

Here's a few more, oddball tests included. I let these set after treatment for 48 hours before taking the "after" pictures.

Coin #1:
Problem: This poor thing had been in a mint set and was reacting with the cardboard and/or the plastic coating on the cardboard. An attempt to remove the hard green stuff with acetone reacted with something else and the coin turned some pretty wild colors - but the acetone didn't touch whatever that green stuff is. I figured I'd try the Verdi-Care on it.
Method: 30-second rub on both sides with microfiber towel + Verdi-Care, no rinse
Result: Didn't touch the green stuff Made the colors quite vibrant, though! (hmm.. if I could figure out the composition of the green stuff, I could sell a mix of that and acetone to tone coins with!) (juuust kidding )






Next up: Amusement token
Problem: Rust! The rust on the surface felt hard and set-in.
Method: 30-second rub on both sides with microfiber towel + Verdi-Care, no rinse
Result: Most of the surface rust was removed (!) except for the lower left area. Much of the original surface is now showing.




Coin #3:
This is one of those "yikes!" coins. Same method as before. It did remove a bunch of the verdigris, but couldn't help the rest.




Coin #4:
Problem: Slight verdigris, small spots
Method: Same as above
Result: Not as much as I thought it would have, especially on the reverse.






These next two I worked on for 2-3 minutes each. The verdigris acted like it had been liquefied - it was bright green on the towel once I started on them. I kept moving to a new spot with fresh Verdi-Care when the green covered the current spot on the towel. When I stopped, there was no more green coming off.

I'm going take a toothpick to them next, but here's shots after just the towel:

Looks like Verdi-Care is now available @ Wizard. Thanks BadThad!!

xshift - Thank you for doing such a great job of testing! I really appreciate you sharing such great pictures and voicing your opinions.
