<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 2208703, member: 15019&quot;]As I said before I would think the same if not being familiar with this particular coin. If you do a Google images search with the following keywords - 1966 ireland 10 shillings toned - you will see other examples with wild toning. Also if you search ebay and completed items there are a handful examples of similar toning in earlier stages of development. This just happens to these coins from being in the original case for a long time. The example I posted if just a more severe example, but resents in typical fashion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like this: <a href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/RAINBOW-TONED-PLUS-IRELAND-10-SHILLINGS-SILVER-High-Grade-1966-SEE-THE-COLOURS-/321804280334?hash=item4aed07a20e" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/RAINBOW-TONED-PLUS-IRELAND-10-SHILLINGS-SILVER-High-Grade-1966-SEE-THE-COLOURS-/321804280334?hash=item4aed07a20e" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.ca/itm/RAINBOW-TONED-PLUS-IRELAND-10-SHILLINGS-SILVER-High-Grade-1966-SEE-THE-COLOURS-/321804280334?hash=item4aed07a20e</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This is found on the proof coins, but not the business strikes. The difference being the case they were issued in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
