    Because of the color (that depends a lot on the lightning, I’ve seen dozens of silver coins imaged in a way that they look like gold) or did you spot something else? Excuse my ignorance on these specific coins.

    To me it is the first time, I see this patina or color (that's why the question), saw this on a Barcelona, Spain numismatic site, while searching for these type of coins (8R).

    Thanks!

    Thank you, I have seen the gold coloring patina on these coins, first time for kind of an orange color, I will ask for more info to them, just to double check.

    An edge image is also important. Peace Roy

    Something very unnatural was done to that...

    Here are two more (not the same coin type, but same patina):

    Interesting...

    Not good at spotting fakes. But at first glance something just seemed off. And it wasn't just the color. Pulled up a lot of pics of others. Most with this much detail left have parallel lines inside the fringes on the shoulder. At the top and bottom. I don't see those here.

    1. I'd bet the color in hand does not match the image.
    2. The surfaces look... unnatural.
