<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coincleaner, post: 499054, member: 15866&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I posted here awhile back introducing myself.. I&#039;m from the DC metro area and have a small collection of us, ancient rome, and notes. I&#039;m pretty much interested in most anything currency-related I suppose!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Two general questions: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Is there a search function on this forum to search for keywords in old posts? I feel like my second question has probably been answered somewhere.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. Untrue to my name, I&#039;ve never cleaned a coin but do suffer from a need to make everything look nice. I can resist cleaning a coin unless the coin is suffering from something continually damaging it. Then I wonder if I have a duty to preserve it and fix the problem. So, I have a bronze ancient coin with the green verdigris rust on the obverse. Can/Will soaking this coin in olive oil fix this problem without damaging the coin? It&#039;s bronze, but with a thin layer of silver wash.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks,</p><p>James[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
