  While micro-crystalline wax is indeed used by museums to protect antique metal objects, I'm not so sure I'd put it coins.

  Yes, Micro Crystalline Wax is THE Museum standard for the preservation of ALL metal. It’s a pure wax base product used in the preservation of all metal products as a barrier between air and water. Because it can be removed to some degree on most objects, especially metals, It is the desired product. It is especially used after metal objects have just returned from metal conservation treatment. While I have used NUMEROUS times and on varied metal objects I can not say in my profession I have ever seen it used it on coins. But again, I would not be surprised because we are talking about two kinds of preservation here. That is to say the museum field looks at preservation from a perspective of slowing down the assault or deterioration of metal objects as much as possible. Wax along with proper storage, climate control and constant monitoring of climatic conditions is just part of the preservation goal, but for coin collectors like us, its just plastic and silica jell.
