I don&#039;t use Verdicare often, but I always do when an old copper has that whitish, light green, dried out crusty look to it. The coin is now conserved as best as I can do, and the surfaces are properly hydrated. I love it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]851565[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Summary:</b> For <u>$142.50 shipped</u>, I could <i>not</i> be happier! I&#039;ve begun building another Dansco 7070 type set to fund next year&#039;s vacation, so it&#039;ll probably go in there for now. Today I ordered a similar looking AU details 1803 Draped Bust Cent from the same seller, for $155. It will get the same treatment as above, and should make a nice looking dark colored pair for my Dansco. Thank you everyone for the help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
