Who has it cheapest? i use minwax paste finishing wax , works fine. all of the cleaned coins I've posted here has it on them. costs about 10 bucks a pound...renwax goes for about 60 bucks a pound. plus you can pick up winwax at the local hardware store. yes dry is good, I always bake my coins before I wax them, 15 minutes at 190 F....plus that wax goes on a warm coin real nice.

Also, I never trust anything on my coins I am not sure of, and I just don't know, (and don't know if anyone does), if there might not be something in minwax bad for coins. Is it really worth taking that risk for like $.01 per coin? Report this Post to the Staff

medoraman New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 12:00 pm I am not saying it does sir, I was simply saying I know RenWax is safe, and for the tiny price difference per application I would rather be safe and use a product approved and used by museum curators.

SImply put - I recently dug out a crispina in awful condition - only the bust outline and the left inscription survives but is only readable when wet. Slap some Ren Wax on there and POW - inscription jumps right out (ISPINA AVG - a ruler I didnt have previously, so I took the effort in it - and hey, any readable coin deserves merit!)
