<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 754717, member: 112&quot;]Just a point of correction, olive oil is far from inert. Olive oil contains an acid, and that acid is the only reason that olive oil removes anything from a coin to begin with. So olive oil is not harmless to coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course neither is a rose thorn or a jeweler&#039;s brush. A rose thorn will definitely scratch the surface of a coin if you tough the surface of the coin with it. The only benefit a thorn has is that it will not scratch the coin as badly as say a steel needle would.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that brush, it doesn&#039;t matter what the bfristles are or how soft you think they are. They will still hairline the coin causing addition damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is the problem with things like this. Too many people make false assumptions thinking some things to be harmless, when they are not harmless at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
