<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TJC, post: 2929882, member: 45502&quot;]Lacquers were common and I still find coins with it.&nbsp; Often not specified and often the seller has no idea what was applied to the coin. I use acetone to remove it. Removing lacquer can sometimes darken a coin. At least I have seen this happen occasionally. I have never re-laquered a coin but have applied verdicare, renwax, and/or coin care. Lacquers likely keep the coin from toning more and I think it was/is used to prevent vergis which can reek havoc on an uncared for collection.&nbsp; I prefer verdicare to prevent verges and further toning,&nbsp; I like coin care for those coins I would like to tone a bit more but sometimes use ren wax which I have noticed sometimes darkens coins upon use.&nbsp; All three can bring out details that can be more tough to see than without.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
