Has anyone used VERDI-CARE™?

If so, what were the results?

I may use this on some of the common-date coins I have (NOT COLLECTING), just to tinker around, and what not, as I plan on putting them through a Coinstar machine anyways.

Any before & After pics?

It is not a panacea, but it helps usually. Do a search and you will find more than one set of pictures. Also, when badthad shows up, I am sure he can add to it. He is the inventor of it.

 

Here's a link with some typical results pictured:

Funny enough that you mention this. I did try it on a rather scarce Chinese coin with verdigris and even within a couple of hours, it worked wonders! A lot quicker than olive oil method. I still need a bit of work on it but I will show before and after.

 

I have a nice (XF-40) 1804 Plain 4 w/Stems that developed a nasty case of verdigris on the Obverse. I used BadThad's Verdi-Care™ on the coin and it looks great and the verdigris hasn't spread. I was thinking about sending it to NGC or PCGS to see if they detect the treatment...but never got around to it.

 

Coin sniffer...interesting.

 

Thats intersting, lol.

Thats why I wouldn't use it on any really collectable coins, juts on the ones that I plan to keep.

 

To get graded, why have them get caught or what not by the goofy coin sniffer if you are trying to sell it. If I want to keep a coin, I will use the VERDI-CARE. If not, I will let it be, and the buyer do what he/she feels they want to do.

 

In the case of my coin, I didn't feel I had any other choice; I was afraid the verdigris would destroy the it. The coin now has a pleasant appearance and the verdigris seems to have stopped. I'll post a picture if I can find what I did with it.

 

I see. I will go ahead, and get the trial bottles, then get the full ones. Or should I just go straight for the full bottle?

 

I found the coin and took some pics...I guess my memory overgrades a bit...I didn't recall all that surface damage!

Too bad I don't have a "before" picture to show how bad the coin looked before Verdi-Care™, but trust me...she was GREEN!



I treated it one (1) time...about a year ago.

 

Wow!

That looks AMAZIN!!!!!

 

I sure hope BadThad sends me out a free bottle for all the advertising I'm doing!!

 

splintercellsz - There's gobs of pictures out there, just do a google search. edited

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

 

The PCGS sniffer might be able to detect the surface conditioner.....assuming they have added VC to their library. A rinse with water or acetone will take care of that, but the product is best left on the surface and I don't recommend removal. Regardless, the product was designed for use on problem coins that probably wouldn't slab anyway.

 

Thanks for using VC! That's exactly what the product was designed for!
