Olive Oil

[CincinnatiKid]

Hello All.
I've read many threads on cleaning coins/relics and how a good "soak" in olive oil helps. I'm even doing so.
Question; once you've decided the appropriate "soak" time has reached its limit, what then?
Does one wash with hot water and soap, just rinse or simply wipe excess oil from coin/relic?
I have two coins soaking, ready for removal, yet I just realized I know not what to do with 'em when removed.
Thanks All...
Peace

Check out the cleaning and preservation section Kid. They got it going on I am not sure the oil bath is actually the best.

I soaked an IH in olive oil for about a year and a half, it did absolutely nothing. Didn't even discolor the oil it was in. I removed the oil with soap and water.

Thanks TnM. Will do.
wainzoid, I've heard long soaks to well? After your prolonged patience, wish you would have had better results.
Thank you both.
Peace
