Let's See Your Toned English Milled Silver!

[Rob 2,733]

Is the toning greenish? Someone bought me a box of mainly G5 silver that was was packed in lamb's wool and hadn't been looked at for many years. The result was a beautifully toned selection of coins, all of which had a green tone - presumably from the oils in the wool. Green is not a particularly common colour IMO, so wonder if the same applies.

Sheep, in Australia? Surely not...

I do wonder if coin cabinet makers should consider using felts made from materials that are likely to result in good (and relatively speedy).

A common coin but the toning is nice and much more intense than that shown in photos.

O’ wow, that’s absolutely gorgeous!
