<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 519407, member: 15110&quot;]Doug, most people probably don&#039;t like oils on their coins as it definitely &quot;hides&quot; problems. I don&#039;t oil them for this reason. I oil them for protection. If you don&#039;t care about the science that is you loss, but please kind to those who have differing opinions than yours. You seem to get obviously irritated and this closes open discussion. For anyone to say the speak for an entire segment of the numismatic community is bold. I think if this could be discussed in not such emphatic terms that will allow people to exchange ideas instead of all or nothing. You may not care about the science, but I do and I think you might be in the minority on that position. The science of this is the Truth. Your opinion is just that- an opinion that can be either verified or disproven. This isn&#039;t rocket science and nothing has been said haven&#039;t said that sounds convincing to me. Sorry, if I sound rude in anyway, but I am not convinced with an authoritarian manner of speaking without proof. If I sold my coins I would likely remove, but if I sold on eBay I would not and I doubt it would make any difference. I bought several lacquered coins and didn&#039;t know till later and I have some reasonable knowledge about coins. My dealer who is quite knowledgable has bought several coppers from me with mineral oil on. As well those on coppercents.com advocate it and many on the NGC boards. They may not leave it on the coins, but they certainly adbvocate it&#039;s use as needed. Just MHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
