would like to ask BadThat for his assistance in getting two-tree bottles of Verdi-Care. I do not directly ship out of the USA. However, you can buy using ebay and they will handle the shipping using a forwarding service ( ebay Global Shipping Program)....which doesn't involve me.

Just used Verdi-Care for the first time. Here is one of my test subjects; a 1968-D Lincoln Memorial cent. After soaking for 12 minutes, I firmly rubbed the two affected areas with a micro-fiber cloth wrapped around the tip of a cotton swab:  Verdi-Care did pretty well with some loose gunk in the upper left . . .  . . . but not so well with some more dense gunk imbedded in the date:  BadThad, I'd appreciate your comments. |

For stubborn areas I like to put a drop of VC over it, let it sit for 5 minutes, then use a toothpick (while still under fluid). If the residue persists after that, it's best left alone. Chances are you won't like what's underneath.
Thanks for sharing your results!

Instead of a toothpick I have tried a thorn from a plant and it worked very well.

I put a drop of VC on a coin, spread it out and sometimes let it sit and soak for a week before I pick at it with a toothpick.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I may try it on a Civil War token next.

If you let it soak for a week why wouldn't it evaporate? We really appreciate those detailed pics.

It's like an oil. Do you have any ?

Yes, I have a battle and I endorse it. I have never tried it for that long assuming it would evaporate. I wonder if Bad Thad would say that after a certain amount of time the effectiveness is diminished? I mean does 24hr vs 7 days really make a difference?

That's just my take on it. Sometimes it takes awhile to fully soak in/ penetrate the verdigris or gunk. This is just my method, works for me.

Very well...I will try it. But, having any one of my coins in the "hospital" that long will cause me to miss it dearly.

Just tried VerdiCare on a Civil War token. The verdigris at top looked pretty loose, so I had high hopes that it would be removed. The results were quite disappointing. After soaking for 12 minutes, I firmly rubbed the affected area with a microfiber cloth. Only a trace of verdigris was removed. The verdigris was darkened by the fluid, so it doesn't stand out so much. The top image is before treatment, and the bottom image is after:  Edited by Classic Coins

Excellent pictures!
Looks like some tough verdigris, you probably won't like what's under it if you do get it off. Best left alone at this point IMO.

Mr.Classic, I wouldn't give up quite yet. I would put a drop on the green spot under the R and let stand for 24 hrs instead of 12 minutes. Then dab at it with a Q tip. Getting that color off or reduced would be worth it.
