Your opinion about Jovian follis patina

I buy two follises of Jovianus from two different dealers, but patina on the right coin looks unnatural to me. What you think?

I see nothing wrong. The patina on the right hand coin looks natural to me.

 

Smooth, bottle-green patinas are common, particularly among coins from Balkan hoards.

 

Both patinas look fine to me. There is a lot of variation in how the patinas look after 1,600 years.

 

@gogili1977 Personally, I think the patinas look fine in both examples. I have some extreme green patinas that have no problem, such as my Uncia and Semis:

Extreme Green:

RR Anon AE Uncia 217-215 BC Roma Attic Prow Cr 38-6 S 615


RR Prv Macedon Amphipolis AE Semis 187-131 BC Zeus Prow giraffe shape SNG Cop 69


Here are my Jovian: (I never paid attention, but I have a right and left -Sinister - of the same Votive V):
