[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 3146890, member: 44316"][USER=80147]@Ancient Aussie[/USER] showed that photos do not always accurately reproduce the color of an AE coin. I often find that photos are greener than the coins. I don't know why it is green that is most often wrong. Here is a case in point. The seller's photo is first. [ATTACH=full]805540[/ATTACH] Macrinus, 217-218, struck at Nicopolis ad Istrum. 26 mm. 11.79 grams. Hristova and Jekov 8.23.46.3 I thought it might have a nice green patina. But this is what it really looks like: [ATTACH=full]805543[/ATTACH] This is the same photo with the color adjusted to be very close to the coin itself. The coin looks warm brown, not green.[/QUOTE]
