That "Patina" looks more like what Royal Tiger Imports refers to as having been cleaned.

Patina means rusty shi.....I mean original history that coats the object you are trying to sell and makes it super special. It's even been known to jack the price of everything, tools, cars, guns, ammo, even clothing, at least 35% One day someone will hand me a bagel spotted with mold and when I complain they will say that's just the patina that forms once it becomes a piece of history. That will be the day I snap.

I have a Patina covered Bagel with a Elvis profile on it for you Jim. I accept cash, and I know what I have, so don't try and lowball me either.

Elvis? Usually it's Jesus, I would not want to take such a valuable collectors item away from you. Have you thought about donating it to Graceland?

What about Buddy Holly? He was from the south also. Anybody made him a saint yet? Elvis as Jesus, oh boy, I can see the lightning bolts forming up already. :facepalm2:
