Ok, this might have been asked before, but I didn't find it. I have noticed that a lot of people talk about putting
Ren Wax on their cleaned coins. The idea makes sense. Keep out the oxygen, keep the coin looking
good after cleaning.
My problem with it is, that sooooo many people seem to be doing it, but there are also a lot of sources that say, although it doesn't hurt the coin, it actually will detract from its value if you put if up for sale. They say it declines the value of the coin and is not necessarily desirable by collectors.
Now I know everyone has their own opinion on the subject, but I would like to hear from actual collectors. I know putting
Ren Wax on a coin helps the coin, and makes it look
good, but does it actually detract from the value of the coin, etc?
If it does, then why do so many people use it, when so many things advise against it for collecting and
selling purposes.
I would really love some insight. I am struggling with my decision to use this stuff or not, when my very first batch of coins
comes out of the darkness of 2k years of dirt and into the light of the 21st century!
