<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2224916, member: 56859"]Also, regarding that "red sand patina"... be sure that it isn't applied wax or something. There are a few dealers whose entire inventories have the same orange/yellow/red "patina"-- obviously something applied to the coins. I'd soak that coin in acetone, alcohol, and mineral spirits (one at a time) to see if the patina soaks off. If it is a true patina, none of those soaks should disturb it (don't rub them in the fluid, just soak).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
