Potential BD
« on: November 18, 2011, 02:09:59 am »
I've been lucky, or unlucky depending on your point of view, in that the BD I've experienced on my coins has been readily identifiable.  Looking at the close up of this area of a coin with a sand patina, does it look like BD could potentially lurk beneath?

I see sand and a slightly damaged patina (cheeks, neck). No BD and I would therefore leave it as it is. As far as I can tell it seems to be an attractive coin.

Areich,

Thanks for confirming what I was thinking. The BD I've experienced has more of an "aqua" colour to it.
