<p>[QUOTE="Noah Worke, post: 24568710, member: 115032"]Hey guys, I'm looking to buy some Verdi-Care for my uncleaned Roman bronzes. The question is, how and when should I use it? For example, this Radiate:[ATTACH=full]1557899[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1557900[/ATTACH]</p><p>It has a bright-green coating which doesn't show up well on the camera, but it's there. I didn't take care to have great lighting, since they're far from Identifiable right now. The verdigris is impairing the legend significantly, but the coin seems pretty good otherwise. So, what would you recommend? This is sort of a subcategory of my cleaning adventures thread, I'm hoping to provide some good advice for my fellow beginners as I navigate these first couple of coin cleaning adventures. Also, a few miscellaneous cleaning questions from a beginner: How do I identify different types of buildup? How long should I soak in distilled water? How do I know when to leave a coin alone? A lot of this comes from experience, but I'm excited to hear from those who are more knowledgeable![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
