expat Posted May 28, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Wow guys! There are some fantastic looking examples here. Take "toning" with a pinch of salt. Beautiful colors are good as well. Here is a Japanese 1000 Yen which has toned along the lines of improper annealing. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncientNumis Posted May 28, 2022 · Member Share Posted May 28, 2022 Ok - I don't have many toned coins but here's a Trajan close up with the beginning of some lovely red! As it's Trajan (very military emperor), I almost think of this as 'blood' like 😂 I'll check my collection, and see if I can come up with other fun toned pieces to contribute. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expat Posted May 28, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Well done everyone. When I started this thread I hoped to see a few nice toners. I didn't expect them all to be great. What a stunning selection. Many thanks for sharing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domitian.. I like pastel toning. You are correct, I have found that whenever a thread is started with a theme, it makes one look at coins differently and you re-discover coins that have not been looked at for a while. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
