Some nice toners

    I don't particularly collect toned coins but I couldn't ignore these that I found on my latest trip to the LCS. It's hard to capture toning with the camera but most of these are pretty faithful if not quite as shiny as in hand. 1903 a germany 1 mark.jpg 1905 a germany half mark.jpg 1912 a germany 5 pfennig.jpg 1924 latvia 1 lats.jpg 1941 south africa 3 pence.jpg

    For some reason the Latvia 1 Lats seem to tone very readily.
    Doesn't show up much in the photo, though.
    I wonder if impurities in the silver change the oxidation characteristics.

    I like the 5 Pfennig.
