James -

I really like the design on the 1937 20 cent. I'm curious though: why does Liberty (at least, that's who I assume it is) have a serpent's tail sticking out to the right side?

James,

 

All of the coins look naturally toned.

I didn't look at the supersized images, however, from what you have shown they look fine to me.

 

The serpent's tail is actually one end of an anchor.

they all look like original album/some sort of case toning to me

 

i have seen this before with original cased south african proof sets from the 1940's and 50's

I thought all the coins looked naturally toned. None of them look like Tone2003`s work to me. Please say it ain`t so!

[EVillageProwler]

The 4th coin looks least natural to me. That is my guess: the '36 1/4 rupee.

Natural toning. Common looking for these coins.

 

 

Stunning 1936 1/2 Rupee

 

A little too bright on the light blue, but still OK. I've seen others like this and fully rimmed toned and they were all natural.

 

 

 

1936 1/4 Rupee

 

Might be heat toned to cover an old cleaning, but it's not attractive color. I'd go with natural.

 

 

Another 1936 1/4 Rupee

 

Average album toning. Natural.

 

 

1937 20 Cent

 

Color looks funky. Two tones of blue and no other colors. AT.

Basically a silver round. I've owned these with similar toning and even better toning. They'll tone up nice with little help. Natural.

Greg was 100% correct on every coin. The 1937 is a TONECOIN2003 product.

 

Thanks for your interest!
