<p>[QUOTE="Meander, post: 3112077, member: 81943"]You did not post the picture of the whole coin but to my eye this looks like a natural toning rather than artificial darkening. As far as the scratches on the coin, the majority of ancient silver has been cleaned with some kind of brush which always leaves marks. Sometimes you can see them with a naked eye sometimes you need a microscope. Personally, such cleaning marks in fields do not bother me much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
