THcoins, the one change I would make to your chart would to be include a normal Perez and not a Hepthalite imitation. Contrary to some authors,...
It wasn't made green and red, or done on purpose by someone. Its just a coincidence of the toning on that spot. I think its great you like it...
Its a normal toning reaction that occurs on some ancient bronze coins. Red, if it is uniform throughout the coin, is a very desirable color to...
I see two things. One, remnants of the summer doldrums. Happens every year. Second though is what Doug is saying. Cheap stuff related to pm is...
Red is not a problem with copper coins. The only green you need to worry about is the light, powdery green we call verdigris. This is bronze...
Its a game that can work, along with some others. How it wouldn't work would be if the PO knew where it was mailed from, and someone in the PO...
