Removing The Dreaded Verd

Recommended Posts

A poster (BenByfield) on Coin Community is recommending the use of 'BadThad's Verdicare', stating that "it removes verdegris and dirt and leaves a protective layer and it actually works".

Anyone had any experience with this product?

The only problem I've had with removing verdegris is that the surface underneath is usually damaged. I just try and keep away from them now.

I've been watching this for some time.

Previously only available in the US.

Looks like a 60mm bottle is approx £25 delivered.

I bought a bottle of it to try on some coins, but it didn't do what they advertised. I was unhappy with the results!

Part of the pricing problem is that Verdicare & Verdigone are classed as Restricted Articles for shipment by air. Which means that it has to to be packaged and labelled as Hazardous Goods. Ri-Arts as they are known have to fly on their own individual Air Way Bill, which means the shipper is paying full IATA rates, no discounts apply.

Having said all that, I did buy some Verdigone on a visit to the US but was not totally happy with the results.

In view of what Bob and bagerap have said, I won't be buying this product.
