The golden colour is the coin's "natural" colour, the greeenish hue has seen some environmental exposure. I'd agree that this coin may have been placed obverse-up on a surface and left there for some time. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
