An alloy does not have heterogeneous properties from both (or multiple) metals, it rather is a homogeneous mixture of the metals giving its unique properties. The metals can not crystallize in the alloy, as I explained before many many many times in my posts.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Alloys are composed from different metals.&nbsp; They are not always mixed well.&nbsp; I have posted and example of CRYSTALLATION in a bronze alloy. </p><p><br /></p><p>We have NOT been debating the AUTHENTICITY of your coin - only the crystalized state of its surface.&nbsp; A highly regarded authenticator of ancient coins has stated: &quot;<b><i>I am <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">unaware</span> of the crystallization factor with regard to counterfeits of ancient bronze coins.&quot;&nbsp; </i></b>NOTE: <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">I have rarely seen it either!&nbsp; <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">I believe</span> t<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">hat was the point of my original post. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></span></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Therefore, we can assume that you have posted TWO EXTREMELY RARE and EXTREMELY UNUSUAL ancient coins.
