Looks like I've got a mini-date run of Russian Dengas starting today: Call me strange, but I really like the look of bronze coins like that with a green verdigris "field" and the highlights worn to a normal bronze color. 1730s are my worst decade till the 1450s, so I got nuthin' today. |

Yes the dark green in the fields is quite pleasing to me too; however, the greenish-white spots worry me a little bit that they are bronze disease. Fortunately the coin seems pretty stable as it hasn't really changed in the 19 years that I have owned it.
