<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 85331, member: 112"]How thick does it appear to be ? I mean just look at it - are the coins sitting on top of the wood with the clear material covering them ? If so - then you have the thickness of the coins plus however much is on top of the coins. This would mean the layer is quite thick - probably a quarter inch or more. If this is the case - then it is unlikely it is lacquer. For lacquer to be that thick it would require probably a hundred or more coats.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if the coins are let into the wood - like if there are small circles for each coin cut into the wood and the coin sets down into that circle so that the top of the coin is flush or nearly so with the top of the wood - then the material covering the coins could be much thinner. And in that case it could be lacquer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm betting it's lucite or some other acrylic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
