<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 7051418, member: 91461&quot;]I&#039;m no expert, but I&#039;m not even sure that&#039;s applied patina so much as a coin that&#039;s already stripped and that&#039;s why the patination looks so uneven and funky. </p><p>You&#039;d assume a person nefarious enough to apply fake patina to cover up pitted surfaces would have covered up all the pitted surfaces. </p><p>It looks to me like somebody tried, poorly, to use electrolysis. And either, quit halfway through, or else saw how pitted it was and stopped. </p><p>When I first started I used electrolysis (I&#039;d, read many museums used this method. Sadly, they still do. So I bought some cheap kit on ebay) on &quot;Unidentified&quot; LRBs. That&#039;s what it would look like if you didn&#039;t complete the process. The stuff that is hard to get off clings on like gunk does. </p><p>That all said, I&#039;d recommend leaving it alone. It&#039;s a fun coin. And in a few years won&#039;t look so uneven. I have some very stripped coins that surprisingly are bouncing back in color. </p><p>*I don&#039;t recommend electrolysis nor stripping coins[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
