Message:: [QUOTE="Boss, post: 520702, member: 15110"]Well, boys- here's my conclusion.  I think I will revise my long term oil policy and stick with it's use in only the short term.  I think there has been enough doubt cast, at least for me that, I don't want to chance it.  Combined with people's longtime experience compared to mine, I will trust that the potential what if is not worth it for me.  I use all the methods I should to protect my coins, and will only use mineral oil for short periods to remove verdigris and gunk.  Verdigone has worked really well as well (however, one must admit this is significantly more reactive than oil could ever be whether a coin is in for 5 minutes or 10 days- so you have to be careful and keep checking the coin).  Thanks for everybody's input.  I am always learning.  I have to admit, I like how coins look with the oil though, but I will use on only a short term basis.  My next post will be how to fix my lacquered coins.  Can't get the dang lacquer off and the coins I did are all screwed up underneath so I am SCARED TO DO SO.:crying::crying:[/QUOTE]
