vietnam-numismatique Valued Member Vietnam 61 Posts	Posted 12/24/2014 10:41 pm I usually prefer toning coins, like the following one. It's a copper-nickel. Is it a natural or artificial (affected by some kind of cleaning liquid or so) toning? How can we know if it's natural or not? Report this Post to the Staff

The French indo-china coins are quite beautiful though! Boardwalk Numismatics http://stores.ebay.com/jdmern/ https://boardwalknumismatics.com Report this Post to the Staff

And the coins usually placed somewhere for decades until they are searched by such antique hunters. Another piece: Report this Post to the Staff

The second piece also has environmental damage (probably from improper storage/exposure to the element), but it's a lot nicer and seemed to still has luster (uncirculated?)
