<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 520586, member: 15110"]Thanks Thad for the response. I will conceed to GD and any others I certainly cannot discredit ones personal observations of a given coin or coins over a long period of time. However, one could agrue that a coin that was believed to be "harmed" by oils- how certain are you that it was the oil? There are a lot of variables involved and of course oil will somewhat disolve over time. Not many of us do contolled experiments like Jim did so cause and effect analysis becomes tricky. I will say you have assisted me to cast possible doubt about leaving oil on coins in the long-term. I may revise my practice here. I will do some more reading on the subject. I do give credence to someone with a lot more experience than me (like GD) and weigh that into my decision-making re: storage methods. I do very similar storage methods as Thad. I use IS and Air-tites in an IS box and use ziplocks that suck out all the air with a little pump with dessicant inside. I wonder if Jim has any opinion on the discussion if anyone wants to PM him. I'm at work now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
