<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 944743, member: 15199&quot;]I have never held silver bars except for a couple my father-in-law bought when silver was going up in the 80s and passed along to my son, so my question is:</p><p><br /></p><p>Shellac and wax is bad for collector coins because its presence produces an altered surface and reduced value, but for an art bar or bullion, I have assumed that such wouldn&#039;t&nbsp; affect it&#039;s value, but would certainly produce long lasting protection from toning, which coin collectors love, but many bullion collectors hate. Is this type of coating frowned upon by the bullion group? I was thinning down shellac for a furniture touchup, and I am always surprised by the thin layer that can be used. Likelike, I am sure a good wax layer could do the same thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
