I've got a pile of LW and IH cents I would like to preserve...somewhere in neighborhood of 750 pieces. Can anyone help?

Eh, I'm not expert, but it doesn't look like you need to verdicare all of those coins. I have never used it, but my understanding is that it really shines in removing PVC residue and verdigris. I do dip my coins in acetone (or soak, if it's really gunked up) before I put them into 2x2s. In my opinion, it looks like that simple treatment would suffice for some of the coins pictured.

Correct me if I'm wrong...
I've always washed my coins in acetone prior to Verdi-Care.
My thinking is that Verdi-Care can then work on the offending chemical instead of lint and hand oils.
Also, If you get the trial size, wrap a layer of clear tape around the label. I have primate hands and am wearing off the writing. Then keep it within arms reach and use it often.

That is correct. Acetone is a lot cheaper. Let it do its job so you can use less Verdi-Care.
