Great rainbows AJ.

As with Robster, I really love the 50c. Didn't see the double bar until you pointed it out.

Damn AJ, your double bar makes mine look like very poor. Well done.

The 1961 halfpenny is a cracker too.

They say at the end of a rainbow there's a pot of gold
Hopefully if and when you sell them you find that pot.
Title: RE: rainbows
Post by: ausjack on June 29, 2013, 08:33:58 AM
yeah and I hope there a few more little pots floating around here if I ever sell anything :)

this is going back a little, I remember seeing this at the drive-in when I was young..yes people the old drive-in, they are pretty much all gone now :(

I know they're not coins, but here's an interesting pic of colours achievable by anodising metals. Titanium has very similar colours btw:

Oh wowsa
can I copy that please
does it have an index of the colours?
I know that stamp collectors have a colour chart
they are lovely colours there Fulvio

not true
the coin was lost and cold and frightened

Go for it. Its just something I found a while ago while researching titanium.

In anodising, colour is dependent on voltage. Which is the scale in that pic. They use various electrolytes, ranging from really benign ones through to sulphuric acid. Coke is popular for party tricks. ;)

Looks completely different on the obverse Fulvio, A purple & blue hue & very nice too,not very well struck but deserves a spot in the UNC coloured collection.
