<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2253169, member: 26302"]I agree. From my own experience, I use the handy tools Thad provides to try to remove the worst of it, then apply VC to the coin. I let it sit for a while, maybe scrubbing a little more. Afterwards I let dry, (maybe soaking in acetone), and if it doesn't appear its all removed I do it again. I have been able to arrest all incidents of verdigris with his product, even severe cases, though severe cases usually require multiple treatments. Unfortunately I collect some bronze ancients from areas very prone to verdigris, so I buy my product from Thad in the largest bottle he makes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding damage, yes you are right. There will be pits on the coin. Simply remember those pits were there BEFORE you removed the verdigris, and if you HADN'T removed it eventually the verdigris would have totally devoured the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
