I can't imagine it would ever cause harm but maybe Bad Thaddeus can weigh in. I have too, sometimes it's just worth a shot on a badly corroded coin. You don't have much to lose on a heavily corroded coin. That said, we still recommend a max soaking time of 24 hours per side. Lincoln Cent Lover!

It will remove verdigris from any cupric alloy. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19952 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 8:21 pm Just use acetone, simple and cheap! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
CRHer Valued Member United States 221 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 9:22 pm Also how fast do you guys go through a bottle of acetone and about how many coins can be preserved? Report this Post to the Staff

Depends on the coin. 2 oz in a big shot glass is fine for rinsing a coin, but you may need that much multiplied through a number of iterations if confronted with a serious conservation job. And you don't re-use it. I just discussed this procedure in detail in the 1877 coin thread a couple below this one. Acetone's like $5/qt at Home Depot. Report this Post to the Staff

I think I automatically exclude it for that purpose because you have said this more than once... Quote: I personally prefer acetone as I feel it's a bit more effective AND cheaper.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/07/2015 09:43 am Acetone's rather a bit cheaper than Verdi-Care, and you might as well use the former to get your best money's worth out of the latter.
