<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JK Antoninus, post: 2448930, member: 79299&quot;]Ha, I&#039;ve gotten coins from Israel with desert patina and if I rub the coin with my thumb the &quot;desert&quot; can come right off. There&#039;s certainly real desert patina on many coins, but the artificially applied stuff has become a fad amongst too many sellers. I see many laughable examples every day. Gives the real ones a bad name. And what&#039;s that white stuff massaged onto some coins to make the outlines and details stand out!? It&#039;s like zinc white paint, not even a natural earth-toned color. Ugh...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
