Sol Numismatik auction-- orange patinas

(1/2) > >>

Victor:
If you are bidding in this auction, as I am, you may not be aware but most of the coins have been re-patinated. Notice all the orange desert patinas. If I win any, they will go into acetone soaks.

It is deceptive as it is not mentioned in the descriptions.

here are some screenshots--

Nikko:
A good reason to not bid. Who knows what lies beneath.

Lech Stępniewski:
Re-patination is probably easier and quicker than nice cleaning.

Gavin:
I won a couple of coins from them a few weeks ago. I will go back and check.

Gavin:
Yeah.  Looks like I might have to do some Cheetos scrubbing.
