<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 531311, member: 15110&quot;]Are you seeing Blue Ribbon or Care on that coin?&nbsp; I do to.&nbsp; I&#039;ve put it on coins enough to know.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Fishaddict:&nbsp; Blue Ribbon and Coin Care are silicon based oil type, solvent products that &quot;clean&quot; and coat a coin.&nbsp; Used a lot by EACers (Early American Copper Collectors) to preserve and coat the coin.&nbsp; We have had interesting debates about that here.&nbsp; You could read my post &quot;Rose thorns and oil&quot; or search their names to learn a lot.&nbsp; Most agree these products can affect a coin in a bad way over a long period of time.&nbsp; I use mineral oil to remove verdigris with a rose thorn and I used to leave the oil on when done, but that will likely affect the luster on a red coin with the passage of time.&nbsp; I still will personally leave on AU brown and below coins sometimes.&nbsp; Most disagree with this and say to remove the oil with xylene and rinse with distilled water.&nbsp; You might try this on this coin as it looks oiled.&nbsp; That&#039;s up to you.&nbsp; Just my opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
