[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2651808, member: 112"]I hope you're merely commenting about that product, as opposed to actually recommending it. I say that because Coin Care leaves an oily film on coins. And that's not a good thing ! And there never will be. That is because in order for verdigris to even be formed on a coin some of the metal of the coin has to be literally consumed, eaten away, by corrosion. And naturally, if some of the metal is eaten away then the coin is permanently damaged. Now I'm not familiar with this other product (corrosion remover) you're mentioning so I cannot speak as to its effectiveness. But I am familiar with Verdi-Care, and it does its job quite well. What that job is exactly, is to remove the verdigris without causing further damage to the coin. But Verdi-Care cannot and will not repair the damage already done by the corrosion. You obviously already know that, but there's a whole lot of other people who don't, which is why I am saying it, the way I am saying it. It is important that people realize and understand this. And one more thing - [U]verdigris is the result of corrosion, it is not what causes the corrosion.[/U] Verdigris is what the metal of the coin is turned into by the corrosion.[/QUOTE]
