trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 10:02 am Here's a large cent from a lot purchase. The lot was in an album with PVC. All the coins were given an acetone bath. The first set of pictures are after the acetone bath and the second set is after a Verdicare soak.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 12:08 pm I think because this is a tough series and a hard to find type coin, that doing this to your Classic Head Large Cent was a worthwhile effort since they don't exactly grow on trees without having issues at affordable prices anyway. I'd try another treatment. (Since you edited and got the before pics posted I edited here & took them out before it was too late.) Edited by TNG 05/15/2018 4:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Started out covered in PVC slime that was continuing to deteriorate the coin. Figured there wasn't any reason to let it continue to go downhill. Still is, and always will be, a details coin. Quote: I took the liberty of posting your images by using the brackets and img with the url's to save goin back and forth to view. Here's your before pics. Thanks for the help. Been quite a while since I've been on the forum and couldn't figure out how to do that myself. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 4:54 pm I think it should be soaked for a longer time period. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5672 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 4:59 pm Agree with a longer soak. Might not work, but much more upside than downside. Nice job so far. Report this Post to the Staff
trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 05/15/2018 5:34 pm I didn't keep track but soaked between 4-6 days and used enough to completely cover the coin. The Verdicare became a blue green color overnight. After the initial soak I rinsed it off, dried it, & took the second set of pictures. It's soaking again now. If that doesn't get rid of the remaining green I'm considering another acetone rinse followed by another Verdicare soak. Report this Post to the Staff
