ANY chemical you use on the coin is going to affect the surface. Isn't that the point? Why else would you use it? LOL
Yes, they lead you to believe, but it's completely untrue. I've been an analytical chemist for 22 years and I, with 100% certainty and knowing the...
Your statement is incongruous! LMAO So, you're saying those products don't effect the surface but VERDI-GONE does? Care to explain? Apparently...
No reason to be sad! VERDI-CARE is designed for use on problem coins that probably would not have been graded anyway. It's not designed as a fluid...

Nice 27-D!!
A 65 woody? I doubt it, the TPG's are hard on 'em.
I gave up submitting toned coins to NGC. They are more apt to reject than accept if there's even the slightest doubt. For this coin, I...
1988 RDV-006 Lincoln....impossible!
LOL I got my 65 for 1 cent too, but I wanted to make sure I got every cent I could for it. LOL Good luck with your auction!

Great battle!
