verdi-care is always out of stock when I surf the web. Any info where I can purchase a vile? If I recall one of our forum members is the inventor of it? Can he cook up a batch especially for me in the Laboritorie  CoinFrog I feel pretty confident conserving Indians/Lincoln's at home but never have used this product so as soon as I can get ahold of some will certainly use it. Gleaming reports is all I see on it. Those crud stains will only get worse. I'm game if I can get some. I like the variety but not interested in acquiring this coin in higher grade at this point so this example with a little sprucing up would be welcome. |

Inventor: that would be BadThad, when he makes a batch, he will post it in the "new CCF members sales" column. However with those spots,wont it grade out details anyway?

It may. These growths apparently started while it was in current PCGS slab it is currently VG10 straight. Will post pictures this evening after acetone soak and dab.
Will be watching for next batch of verdict-care. Thanks.x

I'd just dip in Acetone and then put it in my Album as is.

The pics. above are sellers. Tonight had an opourtunity to examine the coin closely and take some crude home shots. The coin looks like it may have been conserved previously? There are pits, gouges, and scratches on the slab that make for terrible pictures on sellers shots. On an android they don't show up, looks like an obverse worn die paired with fresher reverse die. Notice the awkward 2 of date? My normal 72's are aligned more precise. Liberty is weak for VG10 perhaps die state factored in grade. Will post picks after acetone rinse. Thanks all.   |

To be honest, and I've had a lot of experience with IHCs - I do not like this coin.  |

Hmmm,not alot of these to choose from though. Let me soak and dab it in acetone and see if I can soften your opionion. Will post when completed. Thanks again.

Acetone rinse improved the coins appearance a bit by removing some of the contaniments.Im on a notify list for verdi-care, maybe it will neutralize those spots? Included an example of a low grade 1871 shallow N for enjoyment. Neat variety I think.   |

A couple questions.
1. I've never considered FS varieties; I'm only familiar with Snow varieties.
Is there a chart/table that shows what Snow and FS varieties are the same?
2. Is there a listing that prices Snow and FS varieties?

I wouldn't be one to spend that much on pro conservation, for something I was going to put in an album. But it did make me wonder, can you send a coin just to NCS? Skipping NGC and the cost of the grading?
I'd prob do what you did with the acetone while waiting for the next batch of the verdicare. One comment though, not really a suggestion. I always hesitate to use acetone on copper. Not that it damages it. But to me, the copper always looks duller after being in acetone. I don't find that with silver, gold or even clad coins.
