Most of the bronze coins that I have seen with Renaissance on them make them appear purplish or reddish. I would think that most major TPG's now, except ICCS and ICG, would note it in the remarks section. |

I'll bet you're right, Bill. In any case waxing is a personal choice and isn't a mandatory conclusion to the cleaning process.

My understanding is a cleaned coin is the results becomes a (problem coin) right or wrong?

Wrong. Renaissance Wax simply makes the coin look less dull, there is no color effect whatsoever. Plus it's completely reversible. PCGS, NGC, ICG, ICCS and CCCS all pass Renaissance Wax. This is based on hundreds of submissions. Even a few mint coins (eg. a 1894 1c MS63 PCGS), although there is usually no need to apply it to a mint coin. The above referenced coin will be in a problem free PCGS or NGC holder in no time.  Edited by canadian-varieties

Well, I had seen a number of your ebay coins with a marked background purplish hue. I thought that it wqas your was that you used .. other ebay auctions didn't have it. |

That may be the effect of the "shine" that the wax imparts and the way the camera lens captures it...
renaissance wax is used to protect patina on metals, among many other uses...as someone said earlier, it's only a personal preference of mine and I am sharing my knowledge and experience with it...
also.. it removes completely in a few seconds with goo-gone
PCGS doesn't mind it and they have the most advanced sniffers and strictest guidelines...

Well, if PCGS accepts it, then I guess it's no problem.

If PCGS excepts your coin and grades it with a grade and not grade with details on it that is a good technique to use. It defiantly looks better than it did when you purchased it.

Wow! Bravo. It looks so much better than it did before. When I owned it, I often thought about how to clean it up properly... I'm always hesitant to clean anything. I had sent it to ICCS a couple months ago and it came back VG10. I would be curious to see what it will grade now!! https://goccf.com/t/251777 |

Your coin is actually an 1882 Obv 2/1 and it's on p 314 of the 2011 Charlton. There is a very scarce regular 1882 Obv 1 that has heavy doubling, but we didn't get it into the Charlton.
