<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 421950, member: 6370&quot;]I honestly dont know, there is another thread started about Vaseline but I am just not comfortable with that. I have read a lot of Ren Wax and know that it is used by many museums for decades. I have found supply lists used by some other museums and ancients collectors and sellers who also use it to protect coins whether they be on display or in storage. The British Museum and its impressive collection utilizes it. I honestly do not think a museum would do anything to ruin a one of a kind coin, or lets face it, some of the most valuable and historically important collections that most of us will only be able to see through glass. But maybe I put too much faith in these guys and gals. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Certainly some disagree with such methods, then again there are also many people who think soft cotton will scrape metal and look at coins under high magnification to detect the slightest scratch or microscopic evidence of cleaning... I would like something on the coin that will severely retard the return or advancement of corrosion but will not harm the surface in any way or distract from the eye appeal. I have a feeling in another 50 years this coin:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/claudius.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>will only have gone up in value and few looking to buy it will care it has a light coat of ren wax on it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I could be wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
