Blackhawk Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I got a set of centennial coins from Canada today. The "animal" sides were facing outwards and all the silver pieces were toned a blue color. When I got it home looked at the obverses and found some rather strange toning...it's kind of speckled in orange, reds, and blues. Because of the variety of ways that these were packaged by the mint, banks, and other private concerns, I'd imagine that there are a lot of different toning types and colors available.

ccg Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 The dark blue/violet is probably the most common color, and often shows on one, though also both sides as well. The Bank of Montreal holders offer among the most interesting toned pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moobid Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 The back almost makes it look like it was still proof before it toned/oxidized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
