I don't, they're currently in my Dansco Album. I do have some verdi-care and was thinking of trying it on the 1915-P. Don't know if it will get all that goo off the coin. I gotta go back and read up on how to use it again. Been awhile since I bought it.

 

The 15P will be a tough case, the corrosion looks to be heavy in spots. As a first step, I'd just put a couple drops on the reverse, let it sit for about 15 minutes then work the thick stuff (while under fluid) with a toothpick and dab off.

For the some of the other coins the verdigris looks light to moderate in spots. You can just spot treat the light stuff with a tiny drop. Put a little on the tip of a toothpick, apply a very small drop to the spot your working on, let it sit for a few minutes, gently work it with a toothpick and dab it off. Some of the light spots I'm seeing should be instantly removed using that method.

 

On this coin, the light green spots should be easily removed. That verdigris is fresh and looks to be thin. I would definitely get it off as it will keep eating into the coin if left alone.

 

Ever think about making a youtube video to show us newbies how to use the verdi-care? that's why I haven't used it it, I don't want to ruin or destroy my coins.

 

Sort through some common modern junk coins and learn. It's pretty easy and VERY safe. You just have to decide when it's appropriate and when it's not. You also have to weigh the risk if you're ever planning on using with expensive coins and submitting them to a TPG. With some practice, you'll get comfortable with it.

 

Another great image from Robecs Images. Here is a picture of my NGC MS67RD 1998 Wide AM Lincoln Memorial with a current population of 30 in this grade with none graded higher.

 

Outstanding, little known gem! Few Lincoln collectors include the rare/semi-rare WAM and Cam issued during the '90's. Great Coin!!

 

Especially over here on the west coast. Darned P's are hard enough to find while roll searching. WAMs and CAMs are just near impossible.

 

Same thing happen here on east coast with any D Denver mint coins.

 

Another beautiful picture from Robecs Images. Here is a picture of my NGC MS66RD 1999 Wide AM Lincoln Memorial with a current NGC population of 31 in this grade with 6 graded higher.

Most likely his testosterone supplement has been used up. Time for Abe to get more of those time released pellets surgically planted under his skin.

 

Na no pellet.

Did you buy this or find it? If found how did you decide to get it slabbed?

Hi BLN84. No I bought all of these already slabbed that are in my collection. I never had any luck as much as I tried submitting coins. There are quite a few on here who have and had some great finds and submissions.
