Nicodemus in mortal form

Greetings fine people!

Doing a reread of SG and just hit the standoff outside the Carpenter house.  While Nicodemus is tempting Murph he lays down his coin and the noose, which I assume leaves him a vanilla mortal? 

Curious why he wouldn't age and decompose like the older half-reds in Changes. Maybe the coins press pause on the aging process and the vamp power kept the body young and functioning?  Maybe Nic has some additional "mortal plus" power I've overlooked or was this just one of those things to move the story along?

Cassius doesn't age out quickly after laying down the coin in Blood Rites.  He doesn't die until Mouse kills him in Small Favor.  It takes time.

It didn't happen quickly, when he gave up the coin he looked about 40 according to Harry by the time Mouse killed him in Dead Beat he looked closer to 80 so while it wasn't in seconds or minutes, or even hours, in a year his age had doubled to closer his real age.

  And if Nic had given up his coin, he too would begin to age, and since he may be a thousand, maybe two thousand years old he might have a small window in which to redeem himself before he dies of old age and turns to dust.
