I think I know what you are saying, I use a coil on pin 8 of the MC1496 as a choke with a 10 MHz mixer input to the choke. If you are talking about using the idea of coil self resonance then in that case the coil would not oscillate in a drift free manner.
The coil makes a good input choke though. I got a model of that in my Spice files for upload later.
