<p>[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 1308282, member: 15019"]That's true, but there are ways to improve the appearance without necessarily damaging the coins. The cooking oil method I mentioned works well for coins that have already been discolored by chemicals or have unremovable green spots. The oil minimizes all of this and gives a more even, glossy look to the coin. And, if you ever wish to remove the oil, it dissolves right off with alcohol.</p><p>Again, it will not replicate original looking glossy luster and there is no point in using it on a non-problematic coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
