So as not to hijack the pretty penny thread, here's what Robster is talking about. PCGS MS64 and a super gift from a coin friend.

The toning on the shilling is consistent across the coin and looks stunning. I wish all earlier silver would tone like this.!!

Stunning coin, I have never seen a coin with such an intensity of blue.
You must have a nice friend to be willing to part with it.
