Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/29/2020 10:03 pm Must disagree - surfaces below crud will often be lighter than surrounding fields, especially on older coins. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/30/2020 2:25 pm Might also depend on who does the grading. Report this Post to the Staff

It depends on how badly the crud and Verdigris was on the coin submitted . I've never submitted a Verdi-Care applied coin , but I never had a personal problem with a coin that had light crud & verdigris turning lighter than surrounding fields . Report this Post to the Staff
wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 507 Posts	Posted 02/02/2020 3:28 pm If I recall correctly, when BadThad was developing it he submitted a 1909 S VDB that he had used verdicare (or was it verdigone?) on and it graded straight. Someone with better search skills can surely find it. Report this Post to the Staff
basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 02/02/2020 3:44 pm The issue isn't the substance itself, it's the final result after using it. What was removed, what does it look like under there, is the color different, is there corrosion etc. There's no right answer other than sometimes it'll straight grade and other times it won't. It all just depends on the final result of the individual coin Report this Post to the Staff
