[QUOTE="Maxfli, post: 3463733, member: 69089"]I've used Verdi-Care and think it's an outstanding product. [USER=59737]@Seattlite86[/USER] it's important to keep in mind that Verdi-Care is just a tool, and like any other tool it must be accurately matched to the task. It won't transform a seriously corroded coin into a lovely keeper. And there's probably no reason to use it on an MS coin with no verdigris present. I've used it with great success on British and British Empire coppers in nicer circulated grades (XF-45 to AU) that have just a hint of verdigris, usually somewhere in the letters. "Would it straight grade?" hasn't been a question for me because in most cases these are < $50 coins, and thus it wouldn't make sense to submit to a TPG. If it were important to me to have slabbed examples, I could find graded ones for less than, or equal to, what it would cost me to have my raw coins graded. I don't think anyone can say definitively what effect Verdi-Care has on grading, if any. But if you have a nice lower value copper coin you want to conserve and keep, Verdi-Care is your friend.[/QUOTE]
