    So as promised, heres a few coins that i worked on last week. I did about a half dozen, but these pictures are really the only ones that came out half way decent.

    After reading this thread on photo tips

    Im going to try again this weekend and see if i can get some good shots, plus i need to find some more example coins to use(not too corroded).

    Anyway, these two coins were both soaked in distilled water, then given an acetone bath, and finished with a Verdi-Care wash, using a micro-fiber towel and gentle patting. The after pictures are pre-air dry.

    COOL! Thanks for sharing your results. I love seeing customer pics!

    When you run into the really thick stuff, try putting a few drops of VC on the surface, let it sit for 5 minutes or so, and then tap/rub with a toothpick. Sometimes you can get it off.
