A very nice coin. How would you describe that patina? I am always at a loss for the right words for that distinctive shading.

Hi, PMah,

Thank you,

About the patina of this coin...

The better description is :

Sometimes so-called "Tiber Patina",

"A true Tiber patina forms on bronze coins found in anaerobic water such as the bottom of the Tiber River. Characterized by a natural subdued brassy color with no more than a thin layer of copper oxide, normally with very light pitting evenly over the surface. "

From: http://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/grading/patina.htm

Thank you, Joe. "Tiber Patina" is what came to my mind. Yet I have one or two similarly patinated coins where a (knowledgeable) seller did not use that phrase -- or any phrase --to describe the patina.

Dear Steve, Thank you,
