paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 04/17/2017 12:46 am I love it when sellers only show a picture of the box/case/envelope, not the actual coin(s) inside, because sometimes you run across hidden gems like this 1951 5 Shilling Festival of Britain specimen issue: exceptional blue and gold toning, unusual for a copper-nickel piece. These are fairly low mintage issues (a scant 2m for the prooflike specimen issue) but demand is easily met, so I picked this up for a major investment of $5.99.

OneDollarMule Valued Member Australia 338 Posts	Posted 04/17/2017 01:23 am Forgot to post this before - one I posted before but now graded at AU58 (very happy with that!). Not the most dramatic toner but a really nice example of how silver should look on an uncleaned example: 1696 1/2 Crown - S-3481 Early Harp Report this Post to the Staff
mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1898 Posts	Posted 04/17/2017 2:58 pm I suspect these Mercs have re-toned after an old polishing, but for bullion price I like 'em anyway. Report this Post to the Staff

Looks good to me. Probably does look better in hand because scans often kill the shine in colours that makes them pop.

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/22/2017 4:27 pm As someone who loves toned coins I also love this forum where we can post them! Here's a 1913-A Prussian Two Mark with gold toning on both sides. It also has a long die crack running across the base of the Kaiser's bust. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
