Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 2:23 pm I have not been able to find much information on this topic. Would the use of Verdi-Care be appropriate? It seems to have been good for my coppers. I would be interested in any thoughts. Pete Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 7:37 pm Silver Colonials!? First you MUST share pics! Second Verdi-Care, I imagine, would not harm them at all. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 8:06 pm Thanks amida17 - Here are the pics. It is W-310, Noe-28, Crosby 6-C, Salmon 6-b. Ex: Ted L. Craige Collection Pete Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 8:13 pm Verdicare is some complicated chemical reactions. Silver is less reactive than copper but its not impossible for VC to do some damage. At least the copper bit of the coin will be sparkly and well conserved! Id wait for BadThad to weigh in (or PM him yourself). Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 11:14 pm Nice coin! I would leave it as is. I have used Verdicare and like the product. But feel that yours is not in need of it. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/01/2013 08:26 am Add me to the chorus saying to leave it alone! I don't see any reason for this coin to be "conserved". Report this Post to the Staff
