<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4101313, member: 110350&quot;]If one looks at the silver denarii that dealer &quot;A&quot; has for sale (or has sold) on Vcoins, one can see that a lot of them seem to have an almost identical bluish tone, which he tends to describe as a &quot;lovely multi colored tone&quot; or the like.&nbsp; See this example of a Hadrian Aegyptos denarius, which I purchased a while back before I was familiar with this forum or saw this thread:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/hadrian_ad_117138_travel_to_egypt/1096822/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/hadrian_ad_117138_travel_to_egypt/1096822/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/hadrian_ad_117138_travel_to_egypt/1096822/Default.aspx</a>.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A few more examples: </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/marcus_aurelius_161180_ad_bold_portrait/1103883/Default.aspx;" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/marcus_aurelius_161180_ad_bold_portrait/1103883/Default.aspx;" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/marcus_aurelius_161180_ad_bold_portrait/1103883/Default.aspx;</a> <a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/marcus_aurelius_161180_ad_bold_portrait/1103883/Default.aspx;" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/marcus_aurelius_161180_ad_bold_portrait/1103883/Default.aspx;" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/marcus_aurelius_161180_ad_bold_portrait/1103883/Default.aspx;</a> <a href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/hadrian_ad_117138/1094724/Default.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/hadrian_ad_117138/1094724/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/hadrian_ad_117138/1094724/Default.aspx</a> .</p><p><br /></p><p>I do like the Hadrian coin, but I&#039;m pretty sure there&#039;s something he must do to some of his coins in cleaning them that yields that particular result.&nbsp; They can&#039;t all tone like that naturally!&nbsp; Can anyone tell me what results in that kind of tone?&nbsp; Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
