<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 25219659, member: 91820&quot;]Does anyone know someone who puts patina on ancient coins for a fee?&nbsp; - yes I know that is heretical but if properly done it can look quite beautiful- but it can involve some nasty chemicals which is why I don’t do it myself </p><p><br /></p><p>A cautionary tale&nbsp; - a friend&nbsp; told me that the best way to put patina on an ancient coin is to get some mud from a river and put the coin in that. So i asked my wife for help -&nbsp; she realized that the mud was perfect for our plants so we gots lots of it and I put the coin in one of the nine or so potted plants we had by the porch. </p><p><br /></p><p>Months and months later I decide to check the coin out but by that time the plants had been rearranged and I could not figure out which pot the coin was in.&nbsp; I searched and searched and searched but no luck - I took those pots apart but - no coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
