[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 4853161, member: 82549"]Sulfur will not hurt bronze coins. It will cause silver to tone over time. You do not need Renwax or any preservative. It has already survived over 1600 years without it, and in much harsher conditions that you are likely to subject it to. (I hope!) Your coin is in nice shape, but it is not pristine, and it is common. Anything short of burying it in the back yard is probably fine. If you think you will want to handle it frequently--which won't hurt it--use a [URL='https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/product/saflips-2x2.html']plastic or mylar flip[/URL]. If you plan to just look at it and don't need to hold it, use a [URL='https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/product/cardboard-flips-2x2-cent-size.html']2x2 plastic mylar holder[/URL]. That will prevent the coin from accidentally falling out of its flip.[/QUOTE]
