ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 01/13/2014 01:31 am Nice! I have a coin from Pautalia. It's cool to note that mine has a similar shade of green to it. Maybe they were buried together Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 01/13/2014 04:03 am My other question as it pertains to this green color. Were these found in the soil? (Metal detected). Just kind of curious swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 01/13/2014 07:53 am Colored patina is a result of a long slow process of oxidation requiring a nice long stay in a stable environment. The precise nature of which I am unaware. Suffice to say it is not the 'norm' and is desirable. My favorite is a slightly blueish green ..... but any greenish color (excepting BD !) is very nice. When I have finished with my morning activities I will post my favorite "greenie" over in the Grade section. I have stated elsewhere when patinated 'just right' a coin gets bonus points in my calculation. Not the least of which is the stamp of authenticity which it 'virtually' shouts !
