[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4747317, member: 112"]It's always good to experiment so you can see things with your own eyes. But sometimes it's been for you kinda like it was here - [URL]https://supplies.coinweek.com/images/Verdi-Care-Typical-Results.pdf[/URL] But with coins like the ones you pictured Mark, those were a lost cause before ya ever started. You knew that though for as you said you certainly couldn't hurt them, they had only upside. So, I'd agree, no harm in trying. That said, Thad (the inventor and maker of Verdi-Care) has posted for years on the subject. And even the instructions that come with the product clearly state that it will only work on light to moderate verdigris. The thing that people have to understand is what "light to moderate" means, how it is defined. In simple terms it means a fleck or two or verdigris (light), or a few to several flecks (moderate) of verdigris scattered about the coin. That's it. Much more than that and well, the odds of success are almost non-existent. And - the instructions also state that there is always going to be irreparable damage underneath the verdigris once it is/has been removed. Users of Verdi-Care also have to understand what verdigris is. Verdigris is the green stuff, that's it, that's the only thing the Verdi-Care will take off, the green stuff. And that green stuff is nothing more than what used to be molecules of copper, but it got changed into the green stuff when that copper corroded. And once you take it off the damage and or pitting from the corrosion is still there - every single time. And the green stuff itself, it's not [U]causing[/U] corrosion, it's merely the [U]result[/U] of corrosion. The corrosion is caused by moisture and oxygen reacting with the copper, just like moisture and oxygen causes rust on steel or iron. Rust, and the green stuff - they are both the result of corrosion - not the cause of it. The point here is taking the green stuff off the coin will not stop further corrosion from happening, and by the same token leaving the green stuff on the coin will not cause more corrosion either.
