New toned gold addition

It’s not a US Coin, but this is where I feel most comfortable! I don’t know much about these. Apparently all of them made since 1915 use that date, so I guess there’s no way to tell when it was minted. I love the purples and blues on this one. They are not as vivid as the trueviews make it look. The video is more natural.

I'm not into foreign coins, but that is some really great toning for a gold coin!

@jwitten... What is the alloy on that coin? What percent gold and what else? Cheers, RickO

I have similar question. I thought gold was super non-reactive, and wouldn't naturally tarnish... does .999 fine pure gold tone appreciably?

I believe it’s .986 purity

The coin is .986 fine gold. I'm guessing the rest ( .014) is copper. Must have spent some time near a sulphur mine or a processing plant. Lovely coin, no doubt.
