<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 515616, member: 15110"]This experiment is great Jim. I am soaking a 1920 D Lincoln in Verdigone as I write this. I have before pics and I will post maybe, in another post, the before and after photos as an addendum to your experiment. Veridigone definitely removes verdigris, and you have to keep checking the coin as, in my experience, it changes the color to blueish, orangish, redish hues. It seems the coins will calm down pretty soon thereafter. I like your 08 after Verdigone. It looked terrible before with the green junk. I would put in an album or in paper flip and leave out in the open. As I understand coins will tone in a dry environment in the presence of sulfur but it takes longer than in a humid environment. Your live in the desert right, so it could take a while for you? I live by the beach so that experiment makes me nervous because the air and moisture can make new problems while toning the coins- at least that's my fear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
