Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 06/01/2018 4:59 pm Pulling the plug on my plans to build a Song dynasty ruler/reign title collection, and went through the backlog to pick any keepers. I had forgotten about this one. That's in natural light, no photoshop. It really looks like that in hand. It's pretty heavily encrusted, so I haven't identified it yet. I'd be curious to know what TypeCoin or AnYangMan have to say; I recall reading somewhere that there is some specific type of soil that creates these mineral deposits that is common in China, but rare elsewhere.

I agree, although I'm also looking forward to seeing an attribution.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/01/2018 7:03 pm Patina way too thick to be artificial. Not commercially done for a profit. The coin has lost a lot of it's value due to corrosion, no profit to be made in these circumstances. Report this Post to the Staff
