[QUOTE="Lolli, post: 3565169, member: 96900"]If the Patina is authentic the coin must be authentic and any further discussion would be stupid. Base on pictures it is hard to tell and I do not even know for sure due to the picture which can be misleanding and which are not the best if the coin actually has a patina or only toning with encrustration. The coin has copper oxide encrustration on the edge which look convincing but I have seen copper oxide encrustrations on fake coins too so this is not really helping. Here are some Euboia Histiaia fakes with artificial wear and artificial applied copper oxide. Barry Murphy thinks that they are fakes from modern dies so the coins must be fake and copper oxide artificial.
