A harsh world wears on us from the screams of birth trauma to our last fall on the front steps. What we leave behind is not permanent either. Buildings begin to fall down once the ribbon is cut, and coins begin to corrode the moment they drop from the press.
Want to know more about Coin Corrosion? Then, this book is for you.
Learning to love the unloved begins with understanding the electrochemical cell. Electrons dance about, to and fro, trying to find equilibrium. And, in the process, beautiful coins are produced -- painted by the unsurpassed hand of Mother Nature.
All sorts of colorful minerals form on copper coins: cuprite, azurite, malachite, posnjakite, brochantite. They are beautiful and fascinating; they are scary too. We can see our future. Nothing is stable.
If you want a good read -- a coin book like no other -- then this is it. Treat yourself. You do not have to collect old coppers to enjoy this one.
The book is available on Amazon and at Books123.
Embrace your inner coin chemist. Embrace the allure of relics. Embrace the kaleidoscopic art found on the surface of an old coin, once lost long ago, and now found. This book will change your perspective!
