<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 519607, member: 15110&quot;]Well Doug,&nbsp; I hear what your saying, and glad you can agree oil can protect coins.&nbsp; It does not chemically alter the surface (there is not a chemical exchange of ions or breaking of chemical bonds except to degrade grime and verdigris).&nbsp; Can be removed with acetone or xylene (pure acetone does not change the coin- unless it&#039;s not pure.&nbsp; Most all collectors agree on that, and you yourslef (Doug) have given detailed instruction on how to do so- 3 dishes of acetone and a final rinse with distilled water.&nbsp; Most collectors don&#039;t believe this harms the coin in anyway and can remove recent finger prints and PVC damage.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Cloudsweeper: Look under &quot;Post some Lincolns&quot; last few pages at my 1915-it has a lot of mineral oil on it.&nbsp; I will post some coins perhaps before and after mineral oil later on.&nbsp; Also it&#039;s on my profile page.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
