<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 24889096, member: 92655&quot;]I&#039;ll offer this. I wouldn&#039;t use wax on an undamaged coin. I agree with others that say the wax can seal in corrosive properties. For a dug piece or something already otherwise damaged, I don&#039;t see the harm.</p><p><br /></p><p>I put this together as a gift for my wife some years ago. You can see the ancient coin has some pizazz to it.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1598710[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>She wore the piece for a couple years and it became dark, ugly and almost unrecognizable.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1598711[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I did a little work with some wax and it brought some life back into the old piece.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1598712[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I relegated this old Chi-Rho to a jewelry piece so I felt justified in treating it as such. Myself, if I had dug a piece and wanted to transform it from a lifeless hunk of copper, I could see justifying some wax. It is already a damaged coin anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
