<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 1507348, member: 8959&quot;]Specifically I am referring to products like Coin Care and Blue Ribbon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whilst on my recent visit of the FUN show in Orlando I took the opportunity to discuss the preservation of our old coppers via use of the above products. </p><p>Both of the EAC dealers with whom I discussed the issue recommended the use of these products in order to preserve the surfaces of our sensitive coppers. This was very enlightening to me considering how averse U.S collectors are toward any sort of cleaning or surface treatment of coins. </p><p>Now, we all know that US Cents and Large cents are in a class of their own: copper will react much more readily with the atmosphere than will silver or gold, and there are cases where a layer of protective treatment is needed. </p><p>I also have some coins which had been previously lacquered, and removal of the lacquer leaves the surfaces of copper dull and lifeless. It was particularly with such coins in mind that I enquired the opinion of the experts. To recap, both of these very experienced collectors and dealers recommended the (careful) use of Blue Ribbon, or, as an alternative, (since Blue Ribbon apparently is no longer available), of the product Coin Care. </p><p><br /></p><p>The picture shows the product which I purchased, as well as a camels&#039; hair brush to carefully apply it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what do you all copper lovers think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
