Great Britain 6 Pence and Shilling 1825 to 1829

The toning on this silver coin is so strong, it looks like a copper piece. But it is silver, stained naturally over the years by atmospheric impurities. It is a beautiful specimen, in my opinion. But many collectors shun toned coins.

CoinQuest thanks British coin expert Tony Clayton for use of his coin image.
