<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2882406, member: 19463&quot;]The one I got from the last CNG mail sale (lot 465) described as &quot;dark gray-brown surfaces&quot; struck me as pretty obviously smoothed and retoned.&nbsp; Hoards processed by the British Museum tend to have a certain reddish &#039;look&#039; from their batch processing.&nbsp; I regret that it is no longer fashionable for coin descriptions to &#039;out&#039; things like this.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know that I will be avoiding such coins when the coin is something I really want but my bidding on such items is going to reflect this &#039;preference&#039; which means other people will be outbidding me regularly.&nbsp;&nbsp; I find these hard to photograph and make natural looking.&nbsp; Is &#039;Hermanubis Collection&#039; a real collection or is it something made to sell hoard coins or decorate slabs?&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]691164[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
