These pictures give lie to those who say:
"Don't clean coins".
Generally speaking they are right, but we need lots of circumspection to decide differently, and thus yield a better result.
Of the 4,500 coins in my collection, I have cleaned only two of them.
I wonder how Verdi-Care would go on carefully selected ancient bronze coins?

Keep in mind that there is a difference between cleaning and conserving. To me this is more of a conservation than a cleaning. John1 |

There IS a big difference between cleaning coins and conserving them.
In decades past museums often did BOTH cleaning and conservation. Almost ALL ancient coins need some sort of cleaning after recovery from ground burial.
The professional cleaning of them can often be a long, patient and involved process. Much experience is needed, and quite often risks must be taken that may cause further serious damage.
The preservation of museum asset numismatically valuable bronze coins would often involve the use of RENWAX to prevent the re start of bronze disease after it has already been passivated. I don't think they use this approach any more.
Perhaps collectors may wish to preserve their coins in at least some way to prevent the restarting of bronze disease, before using cardboard flips or encapsulation, but I have never seen any museum use slabbing, flips or encapsulation for the preservation of coins.
The use of Verdi-Care definitely has it's place as demonstrated in this thread, in the cleaning of coins. The auction value of the coin illustrated would definitely have increased.
If slabbed. it would be interesting to see if any 'comments' would have been included in the official grading. I suspect not.

Hi I'm new here but I've read numerous threads from the coin community over the years. Still learning proper protocol. I actually came to this thread because a friend recommended Verdi-Care. I've never used it but just acquired a coin that has what looks to be corrosion on it. Wanted to show the coin but am not sure if it's proper to add to this thread or start a new one.

Thank you, I hope to become a more regular contributor. As I mentioned I purchased this item today and was wondering if there's a way to safely remove the corrosion. A friend told me about Verdi-Care. Now I noticed that the corrosion is in between the letters, is that more difficult to get out and do you all advise using some sort of toothpick or certain type of tool to clean that out carefully.
Unfortunately I see that I may need to wait til Mondsy to post since I'm not on my regular computer. I was able to convert the files to under 300 KB but it's not showing up in my storage.
