<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 2294175, member: 33176"]Hope you had fun. I wouldn't worry too much about over-cleaning. In the worst case, just give them a few hundred years to tone : - ) As far as sealing or preserving the appearance, I have seen many mentions of microcrystalline wax. On the easier and cheaper side, I have been wondering about mineral oil. Mineral oil is simply a mix of hydrocarbons that shouldn't react with the coin material or the environment. Avoid any like baby oil that have added fragrance and you shouldn't be doing any harm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
