I wonder what you think about the patina on this sestertius; the reverse has the very same color and structure.

Well, photos aren't always perfectly faithful, but I must say that it looks quite all right to me.  Unless the green at the base of the neck needed a bit of touch up, quite all right.  Pat L.
