[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 3921071, member: 82549"]Despite the fact that your BD treatment left the coin looking, in your opinion, worse, leaving it untreated was not an option, so you should have no regrets. It's still better than letting the coin commit suicide. Before you put any kind of treatment or sealer over the coin, let it sit out for a month or two to make sure the BD does not return. If it does, you will need to treat the coin a second time. Next time you treat a coin, though, try using just pure distilled water without any additional chemicals.
