<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 521540, member: 15110&quot;]Well, I thank all of you especially Thad and Jim. I needed the scientific proof to back up what GD and Eddiespin were saying was true in based on their experiences. Those picks really helped tip me over the edge Eddie. I will still oil, only temporary to remove grime/verdigris but will thoroughly remove with acetone or xylene. I have never used xylene until this weekend, and this stuff smells terrible and really dry&#039;s my hands. I even bought MEK- which Oldtrader off the NGC boards recommends all the time. That stuff is really strong and removes toning, so I won&#039;t use much unless I think coin needs it. Does acetone really not remove oil? When I have used it previously to do so, it seemed all the mineral oil got off to me.&nbsp; I can&#039;t stand this xylene stuff.&nbsp; </p><p>Anyway, already bathed a bunk a coins with 2-3 dips then DS water and back in IS or air-tites. I have one by one crack out the coins with the light mineral oil and resubmit. Can&#039;t spend all that money at once and it&#039;s just plain too depressing. YES DOUG you were RIGHT:hug:. I admit it. I might have got there quicker with less authority and more details as to why. I think my reasoning was scientific and on the right track, but not exactly correct as our chemists have pointed out. That unbound sulfur is too scary for me to let get on the coins. I wonder too if the luster got killed on Eddie&#039;s coins as the oil hardens over time and fills in the flowlines? Just a theories. I wonder if Eddie tried to remove the oil now? I am assuming Eddie removed the oil after seeing the dulled out luster. If not maybe you could and rephoto if they look different. </p><p><span style="color: lime">Thanks for everyone&#039;s help.
