greeniejim Valued Member Ireland 215 Posts	Posted 08/31/2013 4:30 pm I've been collecting for quite some time, and have recently got very interested in SILVER PROOF quality £1 coins, but I need to know ...would a SILVER PROOF £1 tarnish to a yellowy colour like the one on the left, I recently bought it as a SILVER PROOF in RM box with COA, but upon opening it......well, I'm just not sure, is the an easy way to tell if its a genuine piece.

molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 1:49 pm did you crack the box open or are they still in the box? Toning is very common in 1984 and 85 UK proof sets Report this Post to the Staff
Spikey Norman Valued Member Ireland 131 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 2:06 pm Looks kosher to me from what I can see, none of my silver £1 coins have toned like that but I do have a bimetallic £2 that looks almost as if the gold plating has 'bled' into the silver innner which actually looks kinda cool imo.
