<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Johnnie Black, post: 2814248, member: 79167&quot;]Recently picked up a couple coins for my first ancients. At $6 each thought I would take a chance. I thought they were desert patina but turns out they had bronze disease. I tried distilled water then an acetone dip (probably not advised). And finally Verdi-Care. </p><p><br /></p><p>Original coins upon receipt. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]659319[/ATTACH]</p><p>After distilled water and acetone. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]659320[/ATTACH]</p><p>1st Verdi care application (24 hours later)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]659321[/ATTACH]</p><p>2nd Verdi care application (24 hours later)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]659322[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Verdi-care seems great considering the condition of the coins. I probably should have not tried the acetone but thought it worth a shot to remove organics. I only applied 1 or 2 drops of VC per side of the coins and it appeared to hydrate the surface while (hopefully) arresting any further bronze disease. </p><p><br /></p><p>Definitely a learning process for this newbie but happy with the product.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
