[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4728649, member: 10461"]Good question. I never really considered it. I take 'em as-is, with no cleaning. The only exception is with copper and bronze (non-ancient) World coins I find in bulk lots (or Wheat cents or British large pennies bought in bulk), which I do sometimes use a bit of mineral oil or Vaseline on (and then wipe it off). I did buy a little tin of Renaissance Wax once, but only used it a few times. Most of the ancients I buy don't need any cleaning- or so it would have seemed to me- like I said, I never really considered it.[/QUOTE]
