<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 1449141, member: 2098&quot;]A lot of it has to do with the type of a soil from which a a coin is buried. Various factors such as pH level, moisture level, length of burial, etc. all play a part in how well a coin is preserved. For example, it is well-known that ancient Roman coins dug up in Syria are often of considerably better quality than Roman coins dug up in the UK. Reason being is the soil in Syria is much more dry and sandy than soil in the UK. Moonshine&#039;s coin was found in a garden, it is quite possible that fertilizer and waterings have all taken their toll on the quality of preservation on the coin that was found.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
