Bronze disease appears as a light green powdery area on a bronze coin. From what I could see from the images, I didn't see any overt signs....

I'm referring to the days when people would come out with a book, say, on Morgan Dollars, that focuses on "proof-like" or "semi-proof-like" and...
I guess the closest pre-coinage object that I have is the Babylonian frog, a stone weight at around 1.5 shekels. Old Babylonian Period, ca....
