<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 3419550, member: 82549&quot;]Coins are made of metal. There is no need to put anything on them. Linseed oil dries and creates a coating over the coins, which keeps oxygen from reaching the coin&#039;s surface and slowly repatinating over time. Plus, if there is any moisture left on the surface when the oil is applied, that moisture is trapped and will not evaporate. Save the linseed oil for furniture and oil paints.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, many collectors curse the Victorian-era collectors who coated their prized coins with varnish. 150 years from now, future collectors will be cursing us for coating coins with Ren Wax and linseed oil. (Of course, we&#039;ll all be dead by then, so whether or not we should care what they say about us is a legitimate question.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
