<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KIWITI, post: 3399485, member: 75018&quot;]Hi there!</p><p><br /></p><p>From time to time, you stumble upon a coin which has a &quot;residual silvering&quot; on its surface...may be if you are lucky, even a full silver coating. But some other times, there is neither silvering, neither any rests of it. Instead, there is an unusual (and often weak) &quot;golden patina&quot; (in lack of a better term). </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, this time I got something like that, a regular Maximinus II Daia follis, but remarkably fully golden. </p><p>This made me wonder, why does this happens? Is it just a layer of some other material to apply the silvering on correctly or what? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your help.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p522/KIWITI75/PHOTO-2019-03-06-19-56-08_zpsbzr9ntxo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p522/KIWITI75/PHOTO-2019-03-06-19-56-15_zpsgya1znyu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
