[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 1524565, member: 4373"]It's definitely extra virgin olive oil if you are wondering. I don't have the brand handy but it's definitely the case as I only buy extra virgin. Some would debate why clean coins but I would prefer to call it "preserving" as if you let copper coins sit as it is, the verdigris will eat the coin up over time. As some have suspected, it could be the case of artificial patina. I had another coin using the same batch of olive oil and it turned out to be ok. This is another example [img]http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1011497.jpg[/img] This turned out to be ok, didn't it? It was full of verdigris on one side as you could tell from the pit marks. Nevertheless, an interesting lesson learned. Least I know that this coin isn't full of verdigris damage which would have happened if I let it sit over many years.[/QUOTE]
