Rats, and I thought that verdigris devalued coins.

Interesting Ebay auction by a veteran coin dealer, a 1913 T2 Buffalo Nickel with verdigris on obv that tripled asking price or perhaps that is not verdigris but nice emerald toning. hmmm. Maybe I'm missing something.
Woulda thought not.

Could be toning with bad coin scans.
It doesn't look like verdigris to me. FWIW
Isn't pvc residue green?
At that price I believe I'll pass, especially since he won't allow returns. Betcha the toning is much nicer in person, tho.
Looks like toning to me.

Looks like a scan of a coin with green toning.

Toning.
I am seeing what looks like green and purple toning. Probably still overpriced....
It looks like toning to me as well
It appears to be tarnish since it is around the forehead, lips, neck, behind the neck and between the feathers. Cheers, RickO
Regardless, if it looks this way in hand you can likely bet that an XRF will show chloride.
Well, just Love coins, period.
My bad. Looked like verdigris to me at first glance.

Maybe cuz the green hits the eye quicker than the lavender

If you go to ebay and look at the large pictures you can see that it is toning, along with the lavender color, it is hard to tell but if you enlarge the photo and look at the date could it be the double date? maybe that's why the price is where it's at. JMO.
