<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2380601, member: 76086&quot;]I&#039;d never head of VerdiCare before.&nbsp; I googled it and came up with vague descriptions and explanations.&nbsp; &quot;proprietary&#039; this and that.&nbsp; Dont know what it is really or how it reacts.&nbsp; Maybe perfectly safe&nbsp; but in my 30+ years I have never heard of it.&nbsp; But then, I dont typically clean coins.&nbsp; Although some will say one should never clean by any mechanical methods, with bronze disease it has to be removed physically.&nbsp; With Greg&#039;s coin I think it could easily be saved.&nbsp; Use water and a wooden toothpick.&nbsp; Dig out the areas of issue.&nbsp; When you get to bare metal (as far as you can see) wash again with water.&nbsp; Dry it out thoroughly (some will place into an oven at low heat, I suppose direct sunlight will suffice).&nbsp; When you think you are done, go again.&nbsp; After your final treatment, let the coin sit for at least six months to see if it comes back.&nbsp; After a year or more if it doesnt come back one can treat with sealants, such as Renaissance Wax or Dellers Darkener.&nbsp; Using the above methods, I have never seen it come back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
