Re: Justinian I K coin
It looks too uniform because the patina has been removed and the bronze/copper is being exposed. It has naturally re-toned some.

Re: Justinian I K coin
For ancient coins, an application of archival wax is common. When the patina is stripped from the coin, archival wax is used to prevent Bronze Disease. Also known as Renaissance Wax.
