<p>[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1504569, member: 18157"]I was very pleased with the result on my half cent (above). I was concerned using it for the first time, but the verdigris was getting worse and would eventually destroy the coin. Verdicare™ didn't remove all the verdigris at first and I was somewhat disappointed. I put the coin up and didn't look at it again for a few months. When I did, I didn't see any verdigris at all.

I buy coins for my own pleasure and will let my heirs worry about whether or not Verdicare™ hurts the value. Verdicare™ turned a coin that didn't please me to one that does. An 1804 half cent (plain 4 w/stems) isn't easy to come by in any condition. I'm happy that Verdicare™ arrested the verdigris and improved its eye appeal as much as it did.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, I just bought the 1851 Cent for $8.40.

An 1804 half cent (plain 4 w/stems) isn't easy to come by in any condition. I'm happy that Verdicare™ arrested the verdigris and improved its eye appeal as much as it did. Btw, I just bought the 1851 Cent for $8.40. That's way more than it's worth in its present condition, but it's worth it as a "practice piece" for Verdicare™. I'll post clearer before/after pictures when I get a chance to work with it.[/QUOTE]
