[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 2995725, member: 57495"]As others have said, nice coin! The edge looks perfectly normal, and as for the colour, IMHO, the coin has been cleaned and the metal is the process of gradually toning down. Many of these folles from the Tetrarchic period survive in very good shape and are common enough to not be very expensive. Here's my Maximianus from the same mint.
