I cannot find examples of the coins in Krause, but that's not at all surprising as there are many unlisted coins. However, if you look in the...
Feel lucky instead. That's really a pretty cheap lesson ;)
Yes it could. You see even if the olive oil doesn't hurt the coin or make it worse than it is already - after its use you would still have to use...
