Let's See Your Toned English Milled Silver!

Recommended Posts

Following on from the popularity of the 'Let's see your copper coins ...' thread, and the recent postings on my question concerning the prevalence of toning in English milled silver, I have started this thread to gawk at pics of toned English milled silver. Anything goes, but attractive natural toning is preferred! Artificially rainbow toned US slabbed tat is specifically discouraged!!

Here's a few of mine to get things started

My avatar coin, and one of my first (lucky) eBay purchases

A Viccy with multiple golden tones on the reverse

And one of my favourite coins (much better in hand than the photos show, as they say on eBay)

Finally for now, a Christmas present coin that I suspect was sourced from Rob, and an 1821 Crown that often seems to be toned

Would love to see all your examples (including yours Rob!)
