    I came across this one in my collection while checking for upgrades - I thought the rainbow toning (even more pronounced in hand) was rather attractive, so I thought I would share.
    Anyone with any other examples of base metal coins with attractive toning, feel free to chip in! 1939 Penny.jpg

    The pinkish toning is rather nice,

    This one not so much for the colour of the toning, but that is has any at all after over 240 years! 1771 Halfpenny.jpg
