My First Try With Verdi-Care

Nice job, that's an incredible improvement!

There IS a big difference between cleaning coins and conserving them.

In decades past museums often did BOTH cleaning and conservation. Almost ALL ancient coins need some sort of cleaning after recovery from ground burial.
The professional cleaning of them can often be a long, patient and involved process. Much experience is needed, and quite often risks must be taken that may cause further serious damage.
The preservation of museum asset numismatically valuable bronze coins would often involve the use of RENWAX to prevent the re start of bronze disease after it has already been passivated. I don't think they use this approach any more.

Perhaps collectors may wish to preserve their coins in at least some way to prevent the restarting of bronze disease, before using cardboard flips or encapsulation, but I have never seen any museum use slabbing, flips or encapsulation for the preservation of coins.

The use of Verdi-Care definitely has it's place as demonstrated in this thread, in the cleaning of coins. The auction value of the coin illustrated would definitely have increased.
If slabbed. it would be interesting to see if any 'comments' would have been included in the official grading. I suspect not.

I think it would be fine to show your results on this thread. Welcome to the CCF.
