<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jimski, post: 2703564, member: 77373&quot;]My 2 cents.</p><p>Regarding the VERDI-CARE claims to apply protection to you coins (in italics below):</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i>For Protection VERDI-CARE™ utilizes a 2-stage system surface. Closest to the surface, the ReAcT2™ ingredient forms a semi-permanent bond with metal. This layer provides heavy-duty, advanced corrosion protection and is only molecules thick. It is completely invisible and will last virtually forever. The second (upper) layer is an advanced, water-soluble, surface-conditioning, polymeric layer that will repel atmospheric contaminants, enhance luster and improve, not strip, the patina.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Could be a good plan if you intend to bury your coins in the ground.&nbsp; The Romans should have had it.&nbsp; … I think <b>Folks are needlessly paranoid</b> about their coins corroding.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have had bright copper, oxidized copper, silver, copper-nickel coins, Roman copper in unsealed SAFLIPS (Mylar) stored in Whitman plastic 2x2 boxes for 30 years now.&nbsp; No other precautions (for example no moisture absorbing packets).&nbsp; Nothing has happened to them.&nbsp; I believe the same would hold for the (Mylar lined) cardboard 2x2 staple type holders.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I cringe when I hear recommendations to use wax to protect coins, like is all too often done with roman and other old coppers, giving them that unnatural shine.&nbsp;&nbsp; Does VERDE-CARE put a shine on your coins?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Who knows how VERDI-CARE will look like in 30 years.&nbsp; How long have they tested it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
