<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1155506, member: 26302&quot;]Like others have said, olive oil is a mild acid, mild enough that controlled exposure will not harm the coin much. However, this is used to clean ancient coins, not modern coins. I have used it for ancients, but honestly find distilled water safer and more effective. Olive oil will darken a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally liked both of your coins &quot;before&quot;. I find the natural dirt in crevices highlights the designs and makes it more appealing. Your &quot;after&quot; coins look faded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line 99% of collectors should not clean coins, since they are doing more harm than good. This is why experienced collectors tell everyone NEVER. They know 99% of the cleaning will harm the coin. Yes, a coin can be cleaned, but you need experience and talent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
