sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 8:08 pm The chemistry that causes dull grey patination is the same as what produces the beautiful colours seen here. What IS different is the thickness of the patination. There a a phsical analogy with oil on water. If the layer of oil is only molecules thick, a colour interference in the reflected light on the surface happens. I suspect that the same sort of thing is happening with the very thin oxide and sulphide layers on metal surface. Report this Post to the Staff

Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 04/17/2013 6:01 pm I have always loved Blue Toned coins, so the same night I seen this thread I started looking for a coin that had blue toning. This is the one I bought. (Sellers pictures, sorry for the small images) The coin is in an old ANA holder Report this Post to the Staff
