<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 833928, member: 16948&quot;]not sure what you mean by &quot;neutralize&quot;?&nbsp; It&#039;s pretty much just oil, and contains nothing in my opinion that will mar the surface.&nbsp; In any event, I didn&#039;t post my comments here to &quot;argue&quot; about this topic, nor to defend my use of it - just to let you know my opinion about using it.&nbsp; Bottom line for me is, I use Coin Care and sometimes Blue Ribbon or olive oil, have used them for many years on circulated copper, am very happy with it, I feel it&#039;s good for circulated copper, and will continue to use it.&nbsp; End of story.</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s.&nbsp; never heard of anyone using lighter fluid, so I have no comment on that.</p><p><br /></p><p>pps. Texmech, I didn&#039;t see your post until after I responded.&nbsp; If you&#039;ve read this entire thread, you will see there are different definitions of &quot;cleaning&quot; when it comes to coins.&nbsp; As I just mentioned, I use an oil substance to condition coins - in my opinion, it does not change the surface quality nor patina on copper.&nbsp; I do not use chemical to alter the surface or color of a coin whatsoever, never have, never will.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And I look carefully at coins and make my determination as to their originality before I decide to buy a coin.&nbsp; If I buy a group of coins and end up with one that has been &quot;cleaned&quot; - meaning that the surface has been altered or it no longer has original color, I will so state on the holder.&nbsp; I am not offended if anyone asks my opinion on whether a coin has been cleaned.&nbsp; I also have no qualms about telling my customers that I use Coin Care on copper.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In one way Doug and I are pretty similar - I am very open with any knowledge or experience I can share with my customers, again, always have been and always will be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
