[QUOTE="Barry Murphy, post: 4552708, member: 79368"]We don’t use the term “sand patina”. repatinated we do use if it’s obvious but not to egregious and doesn’t appear to be covering up repair or tooling. coins that are covered with “fake” sand and appear to possibly be tooled or the sand is covering possible corrosion or other problems get sent back as Altered Surfaces. This is a real problem with Jewish bronzes and city coins. Less so with late Roman. Barry Murphy.[/QUOTE]
