<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3775293, member: 92655"]Coming from the US coin side, I am unsure quite how to put this so bear with me please...... I had the Chi-Rho below placed in a bezel as a necklace for my wife a year ago. The Chi-Rho is an image used throughout our church and now she won't take the necklace off. But I noticed this last weekend that the coin appears dried out, porous and somewhat lifeless. I am guessing from being in constant contact with her clothes. The photo below was before I had it mounted and the piece had a lovely sheen. Disregard that there is a quarter underneath. I used this photo when sizing the piece for a bezel.... Is there a product that is used to impart a sheen into these ancient coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1009221[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
