<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2962769, member: 46237"]If you use the right kind of oil and apply it properly, it protects the coin. It's even recommended for some metals. I have some gem WWI era iron issues and WWII era zinc issues and there is a near zero chance they survived in this condition without corroding without being kept oiled. If you want to remove oil from a coin you can do so by soaking in a solvent like acetone or xylene (better for oils).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
