Message:: [QUOTE="Boss, post: 540156, member: 15110"]Verdigone before and after. First pics are after NCS removed toning in attempt to remove the spots. This a follow-up to my previous post on NCS. I had used Dellar's Darkener on this coin and my S VDB to try to cover up the hairlines for better eye appeal. I have generally had good reactions with this product for hairlined coins. It does not look as natural but better in the short run for notedly hairlined coins. I was unaware that the sulfur in Dellars can coagulate and seperate from the petroleum= equals hot spots of sulfur which accelerate the reaction and caused black/grey spots. This happened and spoted this coin and my S VDB. I gave up on the VDB and sent to NCS to see what they can do. The Verdigone darkened this coin and made the hairlines calm down. Either that or the Dellars filled them in. Either way I am very pleased. I personally think this will grade again and I am sending to PCGS after it tones a little better in a paper flip or my album- haven't decided. If I had known about Verdigone I would have never screwed up the S VDB as I would have used it to remove the 3 verdigris spots instead of many hour soak in acetone. My coins aren't worthless, just worthless than they used to be. I can accept this. I am posting for everyone to learn from my mistakes and for Thad to get some props on his product. I am a believer[/QUOTE]
