999fine Pillar of the Community United States 1346 Posts	Posted 07/20/2017 08:52 am I am wondering if this is a verdi-problem or incurable corrosion? Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/20/2017 10:51 am Verdicare might help, but this type of corrosion permanently pits the surface of the coin, which cannot be improved. Smoothing the fields might help, but that is considered damage, rather than repair. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/20/2017 3:41 pm That is a nice example. I don't think you would have anything to lose trying Verdicare. Tiny pits can't be any worse than raised lumps and some of the lumps might leave without leaving pits, or maybe smaller ones. Report this Post to the Staff

I agree with your decision. I always think it is better to buy the coin that is you want instead of the coin that could be what you want.
