I guess I made this too difficult. I just made it easier!
CONTEST:
I'm looking for the best conservation candidate coin for use with VERDI-CARE™. Each person must a photo of a coin that has problems which might be successfully addressed with VERDI-CARE™. Remember, VERDI-CARE™ works on ALL metals, so we're not limited to copper.
RULES:
1) The coin must be a business strike coin with a surface issue. I'm NOT looking for the most corroded coin, I'm looking for one that I feel can be conserved with VERDI-CARE™. If your coin is totally trashed by corrosion, it will likely be elminated from consideration. Make sure you pick one that you think can be saved!
2) OR....show me a hazy proof coin. I have no idea if VERDI-CARE™ will be successful on removing the haze because it's never been tested. That's one of the big reasons for the contest. I want to know if it will work on a hazy proof of ANY metallic composition.
3) Enter as many coins as you want! The more pictures you post, the better your odds of winning!
4) Sorry, I'm not willing to pay for out of the country shipping, so contestants should be in the USA. Or, if outside the USA, the over-seas winner agrees to pay the shipping.
5) Winner must post "after" pictures in the forum. I want to see the results! I might even use your pictures in product literature. By entering, you agree to let me use the pictures.
6) All submissions must be made in this thread and must be submitted by 11:59 09JUN2010.
THANKS FOR PLAYING AND GOOD LUCK!

Let me know when you develop something that can remove edge dings and bag marks from ASEs.  |

Many proof coins develop a thin layer of corrosion on them. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/
