<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 3048541, member: 43872"]I just got a Rhodes bronze from a dealer I believe to be honest, but I have some doubts about this one. For one thing, the patina seems painted on. The coin underneath seems to have some scratches as if wire brushed. A painted patina could just be to hide blemishes of corrosion pits and wire brush marks, but I'm wondering... The patina hides much of the edge. I am posting a lot of edge pictures, but you can see different features on each one. The coin is 13 mm. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me on this!
