<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1815702, member: 19463"]We notice that part of the problem with BD is that no two of us agree on what to do. I would do nothing unless I can see any sign of soft green material or a change in the coin. I am not 100% convinced that the coin has BD. Certainly it should be checked daily. When it comes to drying a coin, I have a south facing window that I have placed coins in need of drying on the sill where they get quite hot. If I see what I consider to be BD (soft and progressing) I use Sodium sesquicarbonate (does that happen to be the active ingredient in Verdicare?) and am on the opinion that removing BD is more important than preserving patina (especially on a coin that has an ugly patina to start with). The one statement that I fully agree with on all of this is:</p><p><br /></p><p>I only wish I could control my impulse buying at any time of day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
