<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2624619, member: 112&quot;]If you are referring to the green spot, and only the green spot, on that specific coin, I would agree with you - it is not patina, it is verdigris. But the rest of the coin is covered with patina&nbsp; - toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, as I mentioned above, if you talk to an ancient collector, verdigris, once it has become hard, is specifically referred to as &quot;patina&quot;. So, the guy at Heritage who referred to the spot as &quot;patina&quot; <u>may</u> have done so for that reason. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s really all I&#039;m trying to point out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
