Thanks for the before and after pics. The Verdicare really takes care of the green crud. You saved them from further deterioration.  |

Thanks for posting this, I've been wondering about cleaners like this.
I picked up a product called "Pro-Dip" last year but couldn't see that it made much of a difference.
I might try this Verdi Care.

Not a huge fan of verdicare. You show decent changes with its use.

Have to admit that it really improved those rough cents a lot.
...but I still remove the liquid shine after use..
I just don't like the final clear coat on my cents..but that coating does add a layer of protection for the future..

I have an 1858 Large Cent VF30 in an ICCS slab that looks like your first coin for green debris. I am wondering if I should break it out and do the Verdi Care on it. I just can't decide.

Nice improvement on most of those. How long did you soak them
in verdicare?

They all show improvement, some more than others. It reminded me that I have some post-acetone coins with verdigris in need of Verdi-Care that I'm neglecting.
I did some experimenting with it a little bit back and learned that dabbing off the excess is a really important step to avoid that lacquer-like look. Of course, if it does look too shiny, then I believe it can be removed again with acetone.
Also, I wouldn't call Verdi-Care a "cleaner." Acetone is the cleaner and Verdi-Care is the verdigris neutralizer and conservation step.
