<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 2045098, member: 15445&quot;]One other thing ==&gt;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ancient Bronze coins are made from ancient Bronze metal.&nbsp; This really old metal can disintegrate from something called Bronze Disease (BD).&nbsp; If an ancient Bronze coin has its original patina intact, then there is typically no worry of the coin having BD.&nbsp; However, if the patina is broken or bare metal is exposed, then BD can wreak havoc.&nbsp; You might find some good information at CoinTalk if you search for the words Bronze Disease.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BD can actually spread from one Bronze coin to another.&nbsp; The root cause is a function of pH and water (moisture). It is rather critical that old Bronze coins be stored without BD and without moisture.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BTW, I know that you didn’t ask all these questions that I am answering so I’m sorry if I offend in any way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
