<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2374683, member: 42773&quot;]Perhaps you guys use the word patina differently. We only use it to refer to mineral deposits that have accrued evenly over the surface of a bronze coin. We do not use the word to refer to anything that happens to silver. I picked up this bustie at an antique shop last week - I happen to agree with your take on original skin. But as a collector of ancients, I would call this coin darkly toned with deposits, not patinated...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]485997[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
