<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4917893, member: 84179&quot;]Ren wax is used frequently on ancient coins, but it isn&#039;t really accepted by US coin collectors.&nbsp; I&#039;m not positive, but you may have issues with a coin that has been waxed if submitting to a TPG or selling it since it &quot;looks funny&quot; compared to the as minted/circulated surfaces.&nbsp; Something to keep in mind before using it on something of value.</p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW: It probably isn&#039;t an issue for conserving things like metal detector finds</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit to add:&nbsp; You also have to make sure you remove every bit of corrosion.&nbsp; When you wax the coin, you&#039;re sealing in everything on the surface and that might lead to interesting &quot;surprises&quot; in the future.&nbsp; It&#039;s not a huge issue with ancients because coins are regular cleaned/conserved due to the nature of how the are found and/or stored for the last 1500-2000 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
