Not bad on the Viminacium dupondii. There's a spreadsheet on them here: http://www.catbikes.ch/coinstuff/coins-ric.htm.

This is one of my favorite green patinas:

Nezak Huns
AE Drachm
Kabul mint, c. 600-700 AD
In Pahlavi, NPKY MLK to right, A behind
Bust r. with winged bull’s head crown
Fire altar with attendants; wheel symbols in fields above, control marks in outer fields
Göbl, "Dokumente" Em. 198/34; cf. MACW 1510

 

Really nice greens, love the third one best. Thanks for sharing

 

Thanks

 

yeah that Drachm looks pretty cool

 

Nice shades of green, Randy!

Amazing how many different tones of green roman bronzes come in.

 

thanks I wana find one thats pale blue green sometime (though not activly looking) similar to the small blotch of color by Antoninus' neck

 

A terrible scan, but here's a nice blue:

Geta
Philippopolis, Thrace
AE18, 209-212 AD
AVT K Λ CEΠTI ΓETAC
draped bust r.
ΦIΛI-ΠΠOΠO-ΛEI / TΩN
tetrastyle temple with statue of hermes
Moushmov 5388

 

nice, I like the patina on the Lysimachos AE3 you have too.

 

Nice green color!!

 

thanks here a few others, one with silvering

 

Nice coins randy... great patina. This is the only one I have with much of a green patina, and it was hard to show in photographs..

 

nice, I like the glossy ones. Its hard to get good pics of em :/

 

Yeah, I had to use the flash, and it still doesn't look right. Best I could manage.... my coin photography skills seem to have fallen into disrepair....
