minus-squareTransporter Room 3@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoI have a bronze coin I made about 6 years ago. It’s been handled by more people than I can count, but it sits for months in a box in my garage. It still looks very much like bronze, just slightly darker in the crevices. This just looks like piss poor electroplating.
