[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2417692, member: 24314"]Coin Care is sold by Betterbilt Chemicals. It removes contaminants from coins. I do know that "Care" is used at NCS. That's why I use it on a daily basis for conservation. These statements are 100% true. Now comes conjecture: I believe "Care" may be similar to a chemical called "Blue Ribbon" which is no longer sold. This was an amazing product; copper collectors guard their remaining supply. I do not know when "BR" stopped being made. The chemists on the site probably know what's in it. It leaves an oily film on the coin, possibly as a protectant. So does Coin Care and VC. I have purchased VerdiCard and have PM'ed its maker, and have used it. So far, I prefer Coin Care as it is faster, easier to use, and old habits die hard.;) I have not given up on VC as it seems to do the same basic things. I'll let its maker tell us why Care is bad and VC is good. :nailbiting: I will say Care is dirt cheap! I can flood the coin's surface with it and even leave it on for hours but I do not soak coins I'm conserving. I get the job done.[/QUOTE]
