<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1815694, member: 26302&quot;]I have to disagree Doug. Many experienced collectors advise to put BD coins in distilled water. The trick is what do you do with it once you remove it from the water. NEVER just take it out fo the water and let it sit. But, a long bath in distilled water, followed by a pat dry and then treatment with verdicare or baking in a low temp oven is a great treatment. </p><p><br /></p><p>What putting the coin in distilled water does is lowers the concentration of the acids on the coin&#039;s surface, making other treatments easier to administer. </p><p><br /></p><p>So yes, I agree NEVER just put it in distilled water and then take it out and leave it alone. All you do there is spread the BD around the coin. But, distilled water soaks combined with other treatements ARE effective. BD will spread in the presence of moisture, but not soaking in water. I have put coins with BD in distilled water, and not ONCE has the BD spread while the coin was completely soaking in the water.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
