<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 592089, member: 15110&quot;]Thanks Mike- this is why I had the debate with the chemist- Thad and Jim on my first Rose Thorns and oils.&nbsp; I cannot prove on a chemical basis that the coins won&#039;t get altered with longtime use of oils, but have since then talked to a lot of people who have used mineral oil, Coin Care or Blue Ribbon for many, many years with no ill effect and protected surfaces.&nbsp; People higher up in the coin world.&nbsp; In otherwords I agree with you point in general.&nbsp; If you do a quick solvent dip to remove previously applied oil, you should either reoil or make sure there is still some presence of natural oil still visible on the coin.&nbsp; Despite what the chemist proved about sulfur reacting the coins over time, I think more people believe it protects way more than it harms.&nbsp; The main risk is to full RD coppers- these can turn brown quicker with oils per some people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
