I find it almost impossible to photograph toning satisfactorily with individual coins! However you get an idea of the range of colours in this photo of a tray. I've still had to play around with it but it's a bit more representative of what they look like 'in real life' Not all are as I would prefer, but sometimes you just have to put up with what you have!

I see Rob has been rummaging through the £1 tin again.

The 2F York 2/6 is magnificent.
