sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/03/2013 10:21 pm I guess that the Varathane has protected the coin, to stop it from toning. I have mucked around with acrylic lacquer sprayed on, to to the same thing. The coin seems to be completely unaffected after 40 years. Report this Post to the Staff
