<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 4433164, member: 71338"]I appreciate your response. What you write makes a lot of sense. I'm left a little confused though because BadThad (I think that's his name, the chemist guy who created a great product I sometimes use, veridicare) wrote in another forum that BD is just a type of verdigris, like an advanced stage. I tend to believe that because the things I wrote previously about the soft metal seems like a form of BD/corrosion/veridigris. Sorry if I'm confusing things! In any case, I will probably carefully remove what I can on my coins, dry them appropriately, and then ren wax them. The next problem I have is airtight containers, which I read BadThad recommend. I sometimes use regular cardboard/mylar 2x2s. I live in CA so humidity is not a problem as far as I know. If anyone has a recommendation for holders, please let me know. I used the hard plastic 2x2s but in a lot of instances, the high relief part of coins easily cracked parts of the holders so that it obscures the coins and I end up putting them in cheap mylar 2x2s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
