My Zeus is a little brown--my Poseidon is a little grey. Anyone else have this kind of variation? Its kind of neat.

The process are individual hand made up, with different temperatures not sure if they put them out door to dry up the antique finish after the application process.
Therefore its colours / toning finishing is inconsistent from coins to coins. I like the finishing process as they are more appealing.
Some say they Sun bake them out door. May be they applied too much SPF+ lotions and leave the coins too long outdoor. :P
 
Just recieved my Poseidon. Antiquing on the reverse is subtle and really well done. On the obverse, the centre section is much darker than the outer rim which is ok but would look a lot better if it were more evenly applied.
 
They changed the method of antiquing the Zeus coins midway through production I think, the later runs were treated with the same black oxide used for the Poseidon coins.

I have COA numbers 300ish (brown) and 1400ish (black).
 
If I got something that mismatched that like, I would probably go into a small rage, considering how much effort it took to just get it.

Yeah my zeus COA is 202 so I'm sure I got the early one. I'm not upset; I still think the set is incredible and the variation makes each coin unique.
