[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 527875, member: 15199"][b]Final results photos[/b] [B]Here are the final result photos after 10 days sitting on the table. [IMG]http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/results1.jpg[/IMG] [/B]The 2 at the top are the 45S lincolns, the one on the left is the control that was in water, the one on right had the verdigris. The 2 middle ones were BU 1960D, the one on the left was in water and the one on the right in verdigone. The one in the bottom is a 2008 cent ( AU+) from circulaion for color comparison. Here is the control and the verdigone treated 45S shown oriented as before. Control on the left. [IMG]http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/results2.jpg[/IMG] Here is the uncirculated coins ( control on left)along with the 2008 cent for color comparison. [IMG]http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/results3.jpg[/IMG] Everyone can draw their conclusion as to whether the verdigone treatment changed the color/patina enough to make it apparent if you didn't know. I can see when they are next to each other that there was a change, but in honesty, if either verdigone cent was presented by itself, I would not know it had been treated, but others have had more experience and might have different opinions. I didn't consider the possibility that the control substance ( distilled water) could darken the patina, I suspect it did, but I needed controls on the control. It is the 2008 that seems offcolor :D I used it before the experiment, and intend to continue to do so. But again!, be sure to have some experience with common lincolns before using it on a more valuable coin. Thanks to all who nominated this thread! I appreciate it! :hug: Jim[/QUOTE]
