samoth Valued Member United States 221 Posts	Posted 12/20/2025 08:47 am Vic: That's been on my want list for a while (along with books on colouring/bronzing/patination), but I don't see many copies in the US. Hopefully it's easier to find for Met. Report this Post to the Staff
MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 12/20/2025 09:32 am Samoth, my copy is ordered, 14 pounds, should make interesting reading. If you do find a good book on patination etc. let me know please as sometimes I overclean brooches and the like that I find. Report this Post to the Staff
samoth Valued Member United States 221 Posts	Posted 12/20/2025 1:39 pm That's way cheaper than I've seen it listed in the US. Let us know if it's good reading -- maybe it's worth paying a bit more here. The other two books I'm looking for: - Colouring Bronzing & Patination of Metals, Hughes & Rowe - Metal Colouring & Bronzing, Hiorns These aren't specific to coins, but look relevant to conservation & preservation.
