[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1009527, member: 2972"]Lots of folks used to coat them with lacquer too. My advice: Don't brush your coins, or if you do, start with cheap ones so you have a feel for what's going to happen. Brushing coins over time makes them have a very peculiar (and unnatural, IMO) shiny appearance, and has little effect on coins with severe corrosion such as the ones posted to this thread. Next time you're at a show, stop by Tom Reynolds' table and have a look at all the shiny coins -- from brushing.[/QUOTE]
