<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pishpash, post: 2514712, member: 71514&quot;]I have not been posting recently, kind of lost my mojo for a while, but I couldn&#039;t help putting my 2 cents in here.&nbsp; I totally agree with TIF.&nbsp; I am not a chemist and I have the utmost respect for those who are qualified.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never heard the term BD applied to anything other than ancient coins.&nbsp; It may be scientifically incorrect, but if I have it, I know what to try to put it in remission.&nbsp; A coin with BD, as far as I am concerned, is never cured.&nbsp; All ancients should be checked regularly for signs of an outbreak.</p><p><br /></p><p>I keep separate tools, scalpel, brushes etc for dealing with those coins.&nbsp; If I am wrong, the total cost to my pocket is under 10GBP.&nbsp; I discard flips that have had a &quot;diseased&quot; (don&#039;t cringe) coin in them.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the early days of my collecting, when I didn&#039;t know about BD, it did appear to cross over to &quot;innocent&quot; coins whilst in a tub with distilled water, or in a plastic bag waiting to be processed.&nbsp; It may have been a coincidence, maybe not.&nbsp; I don&#039;t take any chances nowadays.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that the term BD is fine for ancient collectors.&nbsp; Yes, we probably should be aware that it is a &quot;made up term&quot; but it is wonderfully descriptive and does appear to explain to us non-scientific types what is happening to our coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a couple of bottles of Verdi-care (thank you [USER=17261]@BadThad[/USER] ) but the shipping to the UK is horrendous <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
