[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2871273, member: 112"]I would guess well over a thousand times. I say that because I've been talking about and recommending using it for as long as CoinTalk has existed (15 years now) - and that's just me, not all the other members. Yes they are, bronze disease is nothing more than very old verdigris. From a chemical point of view I don't know that this is the right word to use but I think it kind of gets the meaning across, bronze disease is just verdigris that has become calcified over time. Correct, as long as there is no moisture present. However, if there is moisture present, and yes that even includes the humidity in the air, and since there is always humidity in the air, the verdigris will continue to slowly eat away at and destroy the coin. Now granted you can greatly slow down the destruction caused by verdigris [B]if[/B] you limit the humidity in the air as much as possible. But the only way to stop it is to remove it.[/QUOTE]
