<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 3460624, member: 93702&quot;]I have only been collecting ancient coins for just over a year - so I do not have enough knowledge or experience to make any solid determinations on my own. This is an undeniable fact.</p><p><br /></p><p>However I think I am intelligent enough to see patterns and curious enough to ask more experience collectors for help. I hope you will help me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have read an old thread about a certain seller with &quot;sand&quot; patinas and the thread got rather nasty... I am NOT looking to revive that discussion.. however there are sellers on VCoins which feature sand patinas and others with red/clay like patinas, very green patinas that seem to dominate their offerings. Is this a concern? Am I buying a coin with &quot;makeup&quot; covering faults?</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not want Dealers named on this thread. If you feel there are Dealers I should avoid a PM would be appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would just like to understand how an experienced collector navigates this - are my concerns bogus and they are just sourcing their coins from a particular region?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
