[QUOTE="Pishpash, post: 3745887, member: 71514"]To be clear, the BM doesn't use renwax on coins, only on bronze antiquities. It will depend upon the climate where you live. If you can guarantee that there is no moisture in the coin, perhaps you have given it a turn in the oven for a few hours and kept it with a dessicant whilst it cools, then if you renwax it, you may be lucky. We can't see the middle of the coins. If you trap moisture within and then seal the coin, you are asking for trouble further down the line. I have waxed just a couple of coins, they look no different from before. Minimum amount of wax used. All coins, regardless of how you have treated them, should be checked out at least every few months to make sure there is no sign of deterioration. The more humid your climate, the more often you should check.[/QUOTE]
