[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2970898, member: 76194"]While I can't scientifically prove without a control sample and controlled conditions that the verdicare is the reason my other bronzes didn't have any BD, I do find it interesting that the only coin I didn't apply any to is the one that managed to get some BD in the past year. I've also had verdicare work wonders on a bronze coin that I once accidentally dipped in acetone instead of a second container that contained only distilled water (bad judgment on my part having two identical glasses containing the two liquids right next to each other). The coin looked rather dull and lifeless after the acetone dip, but to my relief a touch of verdicare brought it back to almost exactly how it looked before the accidental acetone bath. I heard verdicare can also be used on silver coins to stop toning, however I like my silver dark so I've only used it for my bronze and billon coins.[/QUOTE]
