No, that was VERDI-GONE, not VERDI-CARE. Nonetheless, it made me laugh because VG would have definately been 100% undetectable using their instrument. It was a completely different formulation.
Does it matter what the formulation is ? I thought the point of the whole thing was merely to detect foreign substances on the coin. Any foreign substances.
Here is the first time, I believe, that I've used VERDI-CARE. Badthad asked me if he could use the pics for advertising or promotional pics which I said yes. This 1988-P with reverse of 1989 really needed it and it still looks much better in hand<br>than in the pictures.<br>zeke
I found out that I could not load down the pic that I wanted because it was a tiff 21.3mb. But you all still get the benefit of seeing what using Verdi-Care can do. I was not very gentle with this cent as you can tell. I don't believe that I ruined it though.
Analytical chemistry is not magic, I know, I do it every single working day. They cannot detect something that is not there. VG was designed to leave behind nothing, and that's what it did.....complete and total evaporation.
BadThad - will the Verdi-Care do much to remove the black tarnish on old, circulated silver coins? I have some circulated ones that were improperly stored in a box ages ago, and some have become pretty tarnished.
