They used oils, they used lacquers, they used fingernail polish etc etc. They always said - &quot;it was to protect them&quot;. But have you ever stopped to think why it is that 80% or more of all older coins are considered problem coins today ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Well if you haven&#039;t put 2 and 2 together yet it&#039;s because of all the stupid things that collectors and dealers alike used to do to coins to protect them.</p><p><br /></p><p>With my dying breath I am going to say this - <b>Leave Coins Alone !</b> They can&#039;t be improved and they can&#039;t be protected ( except by proper storage ).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
