Over time, I have got some coins with broken
patina at the edges and limestone-like substance in the open, like the below
Trajan and
Nerva sestertii. In addition to them being visually somehow disturbing, I have some concerns regarding possible further peeling off the
patina, actually, while inspecting the
Trajan sestertius recently, I have noticed something resembling the extra patina-free spot.
So my question is: could anyone suggest some measures to protect these problematic areas? Like applying some wax or some other substance?
