Works for me brother but don't worry about the 2x2 I already got her in one! But yeah I need to know about the Verdi-care what is it exactly
Here's their blurb on the product. I have been using it and like it quite a bit.
At last a modern alternative to using oil and harsh solvents on coins! Coin conservationists have used oil on coins for hundreds of years. Coin conservationists have used solvents for decades. However, oils contain trace amounts of impurities that can actually act to damage a coin's surface over time and solvents may harm or strip the patina. Also, oils are difficult to remove, slowly degrade, allow moisture to get to the surface and may have negative health effects. Oils are ‘old school’ and have primarily been used because there was no other choice. It’s time to move into the 21st century with a modern-day, alternative that utilizes the latest advances in chemical technology and coin conservation science.
VERDI-CARE™ is designed to work on all metal coin surfaces: gold, silver, copper, brass, etc. No more trial and error, no more guesswork, no more worries. VERDI-CARE™ is safe, gentle and effective as a surface debris remover. VERDI-CARE™ allows collectors to conserve their coins and not strip them clean of luster and original patina. There is a big difference between conservation and cleaning. With VERDI-CARE™ you can be sure not to cross that line due to its safe and gentle nature. Your coins will be conserved, not cleaned. Problems like light surface residue, verdigris and corrosion can now be addressed without resorting to expensive, third-party conservation services.
- No more trying several different chemicals hoping that one of them will fix the problem!
- No more long months of oil or chemical soaking!
- No more crying over a ruined coin!
For Protection VERDI-CARE™ utilizes a 2-stage system surface. Closest to the surface, the ReAcT2™ ingredient forms a semi-permanent bond with metal. This layer provides heavy-duty, advanced corrosion protection and is only molecules thick. It is completely invisible and will last virtually forever. The second (upper) layer is an advanced, water-soluble, surface-conditioning, polymeric layer that will repel atmospheric contaminants, enhance luster and improve, not strip, the patina.
I also dug a '58 FE in Cape Cod a few years ago and I thought it was a fatty Indian till I got home and saw the date and thought, gee that's an odd date for an Indian cent...I was thrilled that I'd found a FE cent! They are VERY hard to find--any of the three dates. I work on a trading floor and we're a bit tough on each other for entertainment, but we all like one another, so take my comments with a grain or salt. You have a great site and the AT Pro is a great machine and I'm sure you'll make a lot more excellent finds there! You second photo is very clear on my laptop...I can see an 8 pretty well, but the other pics don't show it. Get yourself a bottle of Verdi-Care and apply some to the coin...it will preserve it and bring out the details. If you PM me your address I will tell you where to get the Veri-Care and mail you a nice Whitman plastic 2x2 to put that coin in to display it. How's that?
nice find!
Thanks Grant. Petrie502 is a good guy and making some great finds there in KY! Wish I was closer. Any ID on the cannonball yet? I'm working on getting those supplies out to you this week--was sort of a hectic weekend
