<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2005147, member: 42773&quot;]I second Doug&#039;s question because I have some larger bronzes that appear to have been waxed. I&#039;ve wondered if an acetone bath would remove the wax, but I&#039;m afraid it would also strip the coin of any natural patina and/or deposits. And is the wax necessarily a bad thing?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m no stranger to acetone - I&#039;ve used it on modern coins of little value, and it works wonders. But it definitely belongs in the category of harsh chemical cleaning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
