<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 576762, member: 15199&quot;]Ruben, I don&#039;t see the reflective fields you would normal see in a straight on photo. Generally polished coins tend to look prooflike, this one looks dull like someone had copper spots and dipped it. The copper molecules would be &quot;eaten&quot; by the acidic dip whereas the gold molecules would not. That would produce a &quot;pixelated&quot; surface and less reflective, and the color of the copper would be altered on the molecular level, but the gold color wouldn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is of course due to the fact that the gold and copper do not chemically combine but exist separate in a mixed molecular matrix.</p><p><br /></p><p>I seriously doubt that there would be that much difference. But JMHO.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
