Romismatist Posted July 20, 2022 · Member Share Posted July 20, 2022 Maybe it's me, but that patina totally looks painted over top of a chemically stripped (burned?) coin. You can see the brush marks where the patina was applied. It may even be green paint? Or am I missing something? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
