<p>[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1213800, member: 13307"]It's interesting, because their label is contradictory - "does not change the color" and "do a few test coins to become familiar with how product works." Of course, this could be a legal liability statement - as Conder stated, no two coins are exactly alike and I am getting the feeling (just a feeling) that you will never really be able to predict what a certain product will do to a certain coin. How many "test" coins does Betterbilt expect you do experiment on to become familiar with the products' interaction with coins? Ten? 100? 1,000? I feel like you could alter the entire population of copper coins before you could accurately predict what would happen 90% of the time. Again, this is why I feel there should be a reasonable case study on the subject. In fact, once I get back to school in August (and have my photo setup available) I may just perform this on some Memorials - a product I can easily obtain, has little risk in regards to value, and have extremely high mintages (so no worry about attrition.) If I had millions of dollars I might commission a professional study...but looks like I'll just have to settle for a second-rate, do-it-yourself scientific study...lol...of course, great things have come from people who put time into questions they had![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
