<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 2693958, member: 84179"]Olive oil is good for removing dirt and organic materials encrusting a coin. Although it can be slow, I've used it successfully on low grade, crusty ancients. Toning is caused by a chemical reaction between the atoms on the surface and the surrounding environment (sulfur for example). Olive oil will not remove the sulfides/oxides and other chemically bonded layers[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
