I have never used it but I have always heard that the no-longer-produced Blue Ribbon is/was a superior product for copper preservation.

I think Blue Ribbon was a chlorinated material.....from what I recall. It was probably SARA reportable and on a lot of state lists for various reasons. I wish I had a sample to analyze in the lab.
I completed my analysis of Coin Care today. There's nothing to it! It contains two ingredients, oil and odorant. I'm not sure what the fascination is with this product. I've seen/heard of a lot of people using it. I'm considering making a much better, water-based product to compete with it.

Everyone should try to remember that any item that is popular, coins are now, that there will be zillions of people trying to take advantage of that. Remember the VHS movies. Right after those came out, so did stores that sold them, cleaning tapes, books on how to use them, cameras to make your own and on and on and on. Not to long ago you couldn't find a book on coins except the Red Book. Now at coin stores and shows tables are almost breaking down with all sorts of them. I suspect the only people that ever purchased Acetone not long ago were painters and today, it's everywhere. At one coin show a dealer, or whatever he really was, had on his table about 20 different items for cleaning, toning, preserving coins. Of course he also had knives, Indian artifacts, etc and at a coin show. Another example is those coins on TV. Not long ago the only collectable on TV was those silly plates. If you think about it, why not? I wonder if I put some Pepsi in a bottle and called it a coin cleaner, how many would buy it. |
