Im leaning towards letting them naturally brighten but im just curious. Does anyone have pics of their ASM chips that were never oiled but have lost their chalky look naturally?

I have found that by just handling them over time that the colors come out nicely from the oils in your fingers. I too am reluctant to oil my authentic obsolete casino chips even though I have oiled a few Dunes and ASM Palmas to see how they look. I also found that the dirt tends to build up quicker on oiled chips. If anything, I now just take a stack of 10 chips and oil only the edges. However, if I were to clean any old chips for my own use vs. resale, I would definitely oil them afterwards.
