<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Herberto, post: 2190245, member: 74222&quot;]Hello</p><p><br /></p><p>I am just wondering why these two identical coins of Leo III with Constantine V have different colors?</p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn’t appear to me that one of them is better “cleaned”, so why is one green while the other is black?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And something else:</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think the two coins are Sear 1516 BOTH of them? The seller has labeled them so but I have trouble:</p><p><br /></p><p>Because the legends on the green one says: “LEON SC ONSTA”, but on the black one the last letters only says “OU” where I was expected to see a “ST”?</p><p><br /></p><p>It is not clear to me whether the black coin indeed does have “OU” or whether the letters have eroded?</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone cut the Gordian knot?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
