<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 110672, member: 66&quot;]No it wouldn&#039;t.&nbsp; The galvanic protection only works if there is an &quot;electrical&quot; conection between the anode and the metal to be protected.&nbsp; The nail, fittings etc would be seperated from the coins by the wood, an insulator, so no protection would occur.&nbsp; Even if there was a connection you wouldn&#039;t use silver coins.&nbsp; Galvanic protection works because one of the metals is more &quot;electricly active&quot; and its corrosion protects the less active metal.&nbsp; In the case of iron and silver, Iron is the more active metal so the nails, plates, and fittings would corrode in order to protect the silver coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
