<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4819706, member: 72790&quot;]Did somebody say, Green Patina? Did some body ask if anybody here liked ice cream? Do I like Green Patina? Look at my avatar. Below are some of my favorite coins, all with some degree of green patination. For what this observation is worth, I have found that it is bronze from the mid First Century AD to mid Second Century AD where one can find the best green patinated coins. Perhaps that has something to do with the makeup of the bronze alloy being used.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are my favorites A Republic semi-uncia with mercury on obverse, ships prow on reverse, circa 200 BC. An as of Augustus from a Spanish mint, standing bull on reverse, ca, 18BC. An as or dupondius of Augustus and Agrippa, Nemausus Mint ca. 10 AD. A dupondius of Nero, seated Roma, ca. 65 AD. An as of Hadrian, Clementia standing, ca. 130AD and last a sestertius of a young Marcus Aurelius with Hilaritas on reverse, ca. 146 AD.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1167495[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1167496[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
