Thanks all! jgenn, such a stunning 20 reales.. Cableguy, your 1916 20p looks great, I have it as well but only in ~VF. My 1923 20p indeed looks like pvc damaged, will give it an acetone bath :) I have assembled the full set of Moroccan Kingdom crowns, unfortunately most are not in the nicest condition: 1882, Paris Mint:  1896, Berlin mint (key type/date in the series with only 55k minted)  1902, Royal Mint:  1904, Paris Mint:  1911, Paris Mint:  1913, Paris Mint:  1918, Paris Mint:  |

Great set of 10 dirhams/rials, dulitu! I posted this one in the thread earlier, but I photographed it again after a really long acetone soak (it had a greenish tint before). I only have this one from Morocco. Do the others have stars on the edge?   |

Dulitu - that's another great subset! I love this subset, especially the 1313 10 Dirhams. I believe I have 2 or 3 specimens in my collection.
Jgenn - If I am not mistaken, all have stars on the edge.
Paul - that is indeed a pretty scarce thaler; a very attractive piece! Is this a recent purchase?

cableguy Yes,it's my last one.Bought it three days ago on ebay,hit and run tactic,still don't know how I've managed to snatch it!Though it's not related to the topic I dare to ask you for a quick tip on toning methods that you use on your coins!If other members are willing to give a reply I'm more than happy to listen and learn! |

Excellent catch, Paul! a rare coin for sure. I noticed acsearch only lists 3 recorded auction appearance.
Regarding your question about (re)-toning: placing the coins on a sunny window-sill is the only method that I would use - silver will eventually start re-toning. The process may take months or more often, years, as it is the closest you can get to the natural toning process.

When putting a coin in a sunny window sill to retone how often do you recommend flipping it?
