An Interesting Article On Coin Verdigris

Yes I have bought a couple bottles, have had some success well worth my purchase price already and have a lot left to use up yet.

Turn in your jump wings, you're acting like a "Leg".

You obviously don't collect copper coins. Actually, I use it to conserve all kinds of coins. Although, I don't use it on MS pieces.

Thanks for sharing that article. Thad has sent me some of his product. I haven't tried it yet as I wasn't completely sold on the acetone thing but in another thread, the ANACS has recommended its use so I think I will test it out on some cents as well as the Verdi-Care and check out the results.

I have tons of copper coins. What makes you say that?

So just to get things straight in my mind. If I just have some kind of crud on a copper penny I should be able to clean it up using Acetone and not hurt the penny right? Now will that also bring the shine back to the penny? But if a penny has this Verdigris (from what I seen from pictures none of mine have it so far) I can us Verdi-Care and that will take it off. Now will that bring the shine back to the penny also? Sorry don't mean to sound dumb I just don't want to wreck a penny by doing something the wrong way.

If by shine you mean luster, then no. VERDI-CARE will help protect the coin and give it some "life" (by removing the crud that obscures the true metal beneath). In my opinion, it does what it should do and nothing more. If you really want to know more about it, read the thread I referenced above; pay close attention to the before and after photos. What you see is what you get.

There are no dumb questions! You show great intelligence by asking before doing.

I am humbled.

But my teachers (CCF members like you) deserve the credit.
