It is just that it is VERY different from any coin I have ever owned or even seen. Maybe you find them in uncleaned lots or bargain bins in such bad shape but I still have not handled one like this. The whole coin has a thick apple green almost shiny patina- maybe some fixative was added- not sure- it is not that shiny so I think it is natural. It is just interesting how the chemical processes have done this. it does look two thousand years old anyway. Maybe all the bronzes will look like this if they hang out in a puddle for a century or so and then dry up. here is a better photo. If anyone has experience with a coin like this please post it or tell me whether it will last much longer. It appears to be stable except for the edges. It is a curiosity if anything.
