[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 2991858, member: 8959"]The O.P coin is not particularly thickly patinated. It is (just) nicely patinated, in very attractive tones of green, tan and brown. Pretty coin:). I definitely agree, as others have stated, that a truly thick patina tends to obscure details, and for that reason it is not something I look for in roman bronzes. Here is a very thickly patinated bronze of Galba. The layer of patina is so thick it almost looks like it was painted on. [ATTACH=full]738341[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]738342[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
