This is an IHC that I won off jonascollegefund's auction.

Looks good. Never heard of that stuff. You soak them overnight or just wipe on and off?
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.

I soaked this one for quite awhile and dabbed off the excess with a towel.
Its not a miracle worker but it helps preserve and keeps the verdigre from worsening.

Rob worked hard at putting that verdi on that coin.

I think it looks much better. Also the natural patina looks intact.

Bad Thad has come up with some good stuff. I believe he is working on another verdi product.

I heard he was working on something else. I really wish someone would come out with a silver restorer like nic-a-date for nickels. Imagine the rush for undated SLQ's.
