[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1448214, member: 112"]There are plenty of chemicals that will get the verdigris off, and off completely. And yes that applies to the statue too. But the point is, that Vedicare was invented with the idea that it will not cause harm to the coin. And that is why that sometimes it only gets some of the verdigris off. Other times it will get all of the verdigris off. The defining factor is the severity of the verdigris. If you used a harsher, stronger chemical, you could get every single speck of verdigris off of a coin. But if you did then you would also harm the coin because the chemical would eat into the copper. Verdicare will not eat into the copper. And let's say they did clean all the verdigris off the statue, making it a pretty copper color again. In one day, that copper color would start changing, the copper would begin to tone. And in 10 years, it would look exactly as it did before it was cleaned.[/QUOTE]
