Slick and interesting set of coins, I love that colorful patina on the Pius TET.

 

Very sharp Geta portrait Mikey Zee, lovely coin.

 

Love all the posts guys!!!

 

This is quite an attractive patina of Augustus and nice pea-green Nerva.

 

I second Mikey's sentiments, really like all those differents colors/tones. Almost makes me want to jump into these...but/ common sense dictates, I have my hands full, so I will have the pleasure of seeing all of your posts.

 

This Pius column Sestertius is verging on multi-color.

I like that Zeus with the light sandy background, highlights features well. That's a nice large Spanish coin, is that a light blue patina?

 

Plautilla from Nicomedia. Brown and maroon.


Commodus As. Emerald green.


Antoninus Pius Sestertius. Not all of it patina, but a fun mish-mash of colour.

 

Blue green

 

Nice zumbly, your Pius is like my last one (mish-mash)

 

I've got many bronzes that are your standard dark brown patinas but here are a few in various shades of green and black:

 

Love those Republican coins...

 

Yes @Ancient Aussie it's actually Jupiter and small figure of the emperor. And no, it's not Probus but Postumus on the double sestertius with galley

@zumbly this Plautilla is marvellous congrats

Yes sorry I meant Postumus, I get them confused. I like your black Nero and your half Nemausus as it gives me an idea of what Augustus's nose looks like as mine is off the flan.

 

Thanks, Q, a lucky catch from last year. And you have a marvellous palette of colours there!

 

Beautiful patina's, great looking coins randygeki.

 

Thanks This is one of my favorites, but the pic doesnt do it justice
