[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3140202, member: 78244"]I’m not sure I understand. The amount of wear a coin has becomes somewhat irrelevant when it becomes broken. The top coin has less wear and sharper characters. The patina is natural for being in talcy soil. While I am not personally a fan of white, that should not count anything against the coin. As for the reverses, I basically ignore them if they don’t have some kind of markings. Many cash from 900-1300 have very poorly-defined reverses, and I do not fault these coins because they usually do not have anything important there.[/QUOTE]
