[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 2993498, member: 8959"]One can be really surprised how bright (and in which condition) coins which come out of the ground can be. It really depends on the soil conditions, PH level, exposure to moisture, etc. Much depends on how much circulation the coin actually saw before it was lost. The soil can actually act to protect the coin from oxidation, even after 2000 years of burial. If they come out of the grand bright, the oxidation process starts very rapidly, so it is important to protect such coins from the environment. Not arguing whether this one is real or not. Just addressing the point about the tone and/or overall condition.[/QUOTE]
