<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 517002, member: 15199&quot;]<b>END PHOTOS of UNCIRCULATED COIN TEST</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Ok, after 4 days in verdigone ( #2) and 4 days in distilled water ( #3), I took them out and and kept in sequence and then used acetone rinse and air dried.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>OK, lets have some fun...I know all will not skip to the answers below.</p><p><br /></p><p>First here is a small photo of five cents, the 4 we started with and a ringer. Don&#039;t look at the dates, just at the color and see which color would you say in not realistic for an uncirculated cent.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/3214unnumbered.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now here is a large photo with the numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/3214unbig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Cent in the middle is the ringer. The one at the top is #3 , distilled water for 4 days, the one on the right is #2 , Verdigone 4 days. 1&amp;4 just stay in the air.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the following is something I didn&#039;t expect, so I didn&#039;t show you the reverse of the 4 when we started, because they were all nice. Now look!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/3214rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Distilled water is NOT nice for copper to remain in for 4 days. Now if you go back one photo to the obverses, notice the corrosion starting on #3 obverse, but not as bad as reverse!</p><p><br /></p><p>Did the Verdigone effect the coin # 2&nbsp; in a bad way?&nbsp; Your comments please.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again here is the photo of the 4 before we started:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/4lincunc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>and AFTER the&nbsp; 4 day test and acetone</p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/4321b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>SO, you can form your conclusion as to use Verdigone(tm) on your UNC or not. It is not recommended by the inventor.&nbsp; Just don&#039;t soak in any kind of water <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
