Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3237822, member: 10461"]In addition to the four I posted back in <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-a-toned-coin.191715/page-418#post-2523708" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-a-toned-coin.191715/page-418#post-2523708">Post #8343</a>, here are some more.  A lot more, as it happens.  I wasn't always a toned coin enthusiast, but I suppose it gradually crept up on me over the last decade or so.  Like most people, I like colors, but I'm also a fan of attractive grey toning on silver coins.
