I'd like to know what you are reading Phoenix - we may need to get you to change books ;)
Yes you're correct, if a pure gold coin is left exposed in the open air then the color could be changed by whatever settles onto the coin. But...
It all depends on the photographs Mike, but your not the first person to tell me that either. All the same, I'll stick to the business I am in, as...
