<p>[QUOTE="YOC, post: 1845328, member: 58941"]This green 'patina' is typical of hoard deposit. It collects in clumps because the copper oxides leach onto other coins rather than the surrounding soil. This makes the coins less attractive and in most cases illegible, certainly not the nice thin green patina associated with single find coins. I think that the coin will eventually be perfect when all the green has been removed. I know we all like our patinas different.......nice job though and a very interesting experiment in my opinion. You have the patience of a saint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
