WD-40 on Roman Coins and others?

[MUD(S.W.A.T)]

FIRST: NEVER CLEAN A COIN YOU MAY THINK IS VALUALBE IF IT IS OVERWHELMINGLY DIRTY JUST RINSE IT OFF WITH WATER!


My friend sprayed WD-40 on Some cheep Roman Coins and it makes them come clean easy and fast.

Is that a Bad Idea?

Also, I was wondering if this would be OK for silver coins and other older coins?

Thanks

I do this Often With OLD coins. (Late 1700's , Early 1800's) and even got good prices from coin dealers, after .? Even Tho I told them I dug em & did this, they paid me Average Buying Price.
And Never said anything bad.

? As far as I know, all it does is Treat the Metal.

I do Prefer the GENERIC Brands tho. " CHEAPER "

It never works on Silver Tho, But It dosn't need to.

I found what looks like a steel button on beach in front of one of the 1715 sites. I used electrolysis for 2 days. Can I use WD-40 on this ferrous artifact now to preserve?

If you apply wd-40 to an iron artifact, would that mean its "cleaned" and reduce its value or w/e...Also what about crisco on iron stuff?

To Be Honest I Still Do, & will Continue to Do it On OLDER Copper Coins.

As I said, It Hasn't Decreased Their Value For Me.
