This particular coin has a lot of ancient mineral deposits attached to it. I trust this dealer when he says that this is not an applied patina. The ancient dirt adds to the allure of the piece. I know that I said I was going to give my Judaean collection a rest for a while but that was a tall order. What I really meant was that I was going try to slow down. A little bit
Wonderful!! It's ok. Ancients, specifically for us - Judaean coins, are like Lays chips, you can't have just one. You need the whole bag and the next and the next and....and... Erin
