hey everybody, found this a couple of days ago, kind of a pricy coin, and I can tell its in good shape, but wonder if I should just leave it? is soaking in olive oil for a couple of weeks ok? how much is too much on the peroxide bath? thanks for the help, Griff

I would leave that one as is,looks as if it has soaked in oil already.Once the oil is apllied the peroxide bath will no longer work.

Nice find though! HBilly
