    On another thread, a member recommended using VerdiCare to remove verdigris from coins. This product gets rave reviews and was developed by a chemist.

    I have a coin I may be using it on but I don't think I have any that need it...except maybe one...knock on wood.

    Now I have a few brass tokens that really need it!

    I never heard of it until CT. Where is it sold? How is it marketed?

    Wizardcoinsupply.com sells it. I think my old LCS sold it...but I may be mistaken.

    @BadThad makes it.

    Each to their own. I don't mind verdigris on a bronze.

    I think you must mean that you don't mind greenish patina on a bronze? (a corrosive chemical reaction which destroys the surface is never a good thing, unless you are a serial killer)

    Ummm, or maybe I'm mistaken?

    => I've always thought that verdigris = bronze disease? (but I just read that verdigris is a protective coating?)

    ... sometimes this coin-stuff is too hard!!
