Title: Canberra Florins, Show your Colours
Post by: trout on September 20, 2014, 10:10:13 AM
Although the Blast white Canberra Florins do look nice, The toned coins to me are far more appealing.
Here are a couple of my darkly toned examples.
Get your cameras out you Mob and post some coloured beauties, these are ALWAYS nice to look at .

I always love seeing that coin PP :drooling:

This one is nowhere near an MS coin but I DO love the colour.

well you pair make me sick as usual :mocking: but bloody beautiful coins :winkextra: sorry it took me so long and even though I feel like a fish out of water putting these poor, pathetic and very sad contenders up amongst these beauties but I'll still play with the piddly five I have acquired that don't have much tone or hold a candle to those suckers but here they are and some might even look familiar to some members so a HUGE thanks to them for their kindness :thank_you:
this one turned up the other week but I have to put it in a 2x2 yet :angel:

Sorry for going a little off track and they aren't 27's but Andrew Crellin has some really nicely toned coins that I have been drooling over for years, but a bit out of my price range but has a beautiful 1943 proof penny and 49 half and that's my fav :drooling: here's a link http://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/items/1949-proof-halfpenny-pr-66

Just two from me. Do the carbon spots count, ha ha. Unfortunately both have poor steps.
