Ecnerwal got it right. the coins all turned black in spite of three coats
of sanding sealer and two of lacquer.

To bin it? throw it in the scrap bin and thanks for pointing out the

Couldn't you re-purpose the box? Perhaps more mundane coins would not mind

wooden box to contain some other thing... maybe a glass jar full of precious
memories.
