<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 7689640, member: 75143&quot;]I have never had an interest in the Alexandrian Potin tets, as I found their artistry rather crude and unappealing.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I took the leap and have purchased several now. I still don&#039;t like them THAT much, but they&#039;re kind of cool as my LCS has them for great prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is my favorite of the four I have (Diocletian, Maximian, Carinus, Carus) due to the absolutely <i>gorgeous</i> patina on this one, a Milne 5051.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1320347[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The bluish green appears to be some combination of copper oxide(?) and azurite. The oxidation appears stable, and is very attractive. I love how these PT tets often have really neat encrustations.</p><p><br /></p><p>My second favorite of my tetrarchy is Maximianus, which isn&#039;t as pretty as Dio but has rather large azurite crystals on this Milne 4814!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1320348[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your favorite tets, particularly those with interesting patinas or encrustations![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
