<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 3079185, member: 82549&quot;]Depends how it&#039;s done. Artificial patinas aren&#039;t necessarily bad. Sometimes, though, dealers just smear shoe polish or some such garbage to conceal the fact that the coin has recently been stripped. Like Bondo over dents in a car. If it&#039;s stable and doesn&#039;t rub off, it might not make much difference. It does look nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
