<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3902069, member: 72790&quot;]Somewhere I read a while ago where a person had&nbsp; recommended olive oil as a way of cleaning and preserving&nbsp; very old coins, copper, bronze or zinc, anyway, on the grounds that these coins were constantly exposed to olive oil from the fingers and hands of ancient people and it would not harm them and may have helped preserve them</p><p>. If I recall correctly it was especially good for removing encrustations from such coins. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this claim or, better yet, has anyone here ever used olive oil on their coins? Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
