<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jlewis, post: 24738058, member: 149897&quot;]Hi everyone, I just started collecting ancients a few months ago so I’m still new to the hobby. I’ve learned a lot from this forum, and wanted to ask whether it is possible to determine whether a coin has bronze disease from photos alone.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example these two coins. One has a lot of bright green showing, and the other has some green in the areas of porosity, and from what I’ve read that can be a sign of a recent attempt to clean off the physical evidence of bronze disease. I have no idea if these are just harmless hard deposits though </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/294/7/7Poz9r9H2nLtki4SQZk86B4xG5cDfe.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/294/7/7Poz9r9H2nLtki4SQZk86B4xG5cDfe.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/294/7/7Poz9r9H2nLtki4SQZk86B4xG5cDfe.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/294/Z/zZ44Ex5a9Tgp5n7R3FbLjr8Qd6KwSk.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/294/Z/zZ44Ex5a9Tgp5n7R3FbLjr8Qd6KwSk.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://images.vcoins.com/product_image/294/Z/zZ44Ex5a9Tgp5n7R3FbLjr8Qd6KwSk.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Is it expected that vcoins sellers would disclose if a coin has BD? Or is it assumed the buyer would make the determination based off of photos? Is it fair to directly ask a seller whether a coin has BD or is that not appropriate?</p><p><br /></p><p>Appreciate the help[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
