<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4879240, member: 110350"]It's that orange-yellow color that supposedly comes from being buried in a desert for a couple of thousand years. Apparently very easy to fake, and easy to remove if it is fake. The reason some dealers fake it is that there are some collectors who like the way it looks, including the way it highlights the high points of the coin, where no desert patina is applied.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
