I don't think Blue Ribbon is the solution for verdigris. It's a cleaner & preservative - the numismatic community is kind of divided over its' status as "acceptable" for conservation, as it leaves behind a permanent coating by design - but either way not strong enough to cope with verdigris permanently. |

I don't think he's gotten back to this thread, so I emailed him on your behalf.

The coin was coated with oil or some other substance in order to hide the corrosion. The acetone removed it and revealed the true coin. That was my immediate thought - most likely Deller's darkener, looks like it to me anyways. Quote:

I tossed out 6 bottles because I was moving, and was afraid they would break (about 10 years ago). Now it's gone forever,  and look at this auction last week: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151224302947 "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

What's funny I thought I had thrown all 8 bottles away 2 years ago when I went through a very heart breaking divorce. But God had plans for me to continue collecting and I found them. I bought them back in 1998 at a coin shop for $5 each. Never thought they would be valuable.

Ok, here are my before and after efforts using Verdicare. Before  After  I actually bought this very cheaply with the intention of flipping it and just thought i'd get rid of the gunk around the lettering by using acetone but obviously hadn't seen the verdigris which was revealed. Very pleased with the Verdicare results on this, its now flippable again rather than just an obviously corroding coin. |
