<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 519741, member: 15110&quot;]For Cloudsweeper- I will start a new post. Called &quot;Rose thorns and Oil&quot;. I will post in a few minutes. I don&#039;t want to get off Jim&#039;s topic so much. It&#039;s funny- I was trying to write my response to GD&#039;s response and Dru basically said the same thing as me and I hadn&#039;t read his. I agree with Dru 100%. I wouldn&#039;t try to sell to much at a coin show, as dealers pay too little for coins in my opinion, so I wouldn&#039;t have any reason to try to sell, but next show I will do it just for fun. An oiled and non-oiled coin and let you guys know. GD- to say you don&#039;t care about the science doesn&#039;t sound very intelligent. That sounds the same as saying I will stay in my blissful ignorance and follow what I have always known. I question everything in life that doesn&#039;t sound right to me, and examine the evidence for and against. Had the Germans done this they wouldn&#039;t have empowered Hitler. Maybe most of collectors are wrong. I actually think that most collectors are extremely concerned about preservation, and will try anything to preserve their collection. That being said the ultimate preservation for all coins is a dry environment, ideally slabbed (NGC is more air-tight than PCGS as Mr White proved in his book &quot;Coin Chemistry&quot;). Kointains proved to be more air-tight than Airtite&#039;s (the brand), but most don&#039;t like because of the striations on the holder. Oiling for copper (I don&#039;t really do with Silver much) is another tool to prevent damage, and I mostly use for AU and below coins. Will those coins grade with mineral oil in third party slabs- ABSOLUTLEY, as long as it&#039;s not too thick, i.e., coating.&nbsp; And to answer Cloudsweeper, no I haven&#039;t submitted yet, but I have submitted others and they graded everytime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
