Message:: [QUOTE="mralexanderb, post: 540961, member: 7851"]Despite all you've done to your '09 S VDB the details are still attractive and is a coin one that I don't have and would love to own. If you're still into messing with this coin to improve it then try "Bag Balm". It's a petrolatum Lanolin Base with Hydroxy Quinoline Sulfate(0.3%): medicinal Vaseline. Originally made for cows, ewes, sows & goats udders, I've found it to be quite the healing hand ointment for my severely dry, chapped hands, due to acute &/or chronic exposure to cold & wet winter conditions. I know many people that work in these conditions that swear by it as a healing agent for cracked & broken skin.  The effects on your coins are not known to me, but the sulfur and the petrolatum might re-tone this coin to an acceptably shade of copper.  As always, try it on other test coins first and see what it does. I've often wondered what it would do to modern Unc Lincoln as well as older Lincoln wheat cents.  Good luck with your endeavors to find the wholey grail of coin altering. It would be great to see that coin looking primo again. Bruce[/QUOTE]
