I bought these out of an old collection a while back. Not super expensive coins, but nice. What do you all think of the toning? They were stored in old paper envelopes for decades.

I would be less concerned about toning and would focus primarily at the quality of the surfaces in terms of originality and any possible signs of an old cleaning. The images make it a challenge to offer an opinion on either. The Royal Mint quality for coins from this time frame is usually good. These are available in high grades. These are nice additions to any GB Victorian Type Set. I seem to recall that Whitman made a Victoria Blue bookshelf type album 50-65 years ago. I do not think I have seen one in decades.

It is difficult to tell, but I believe these are original and uncleaned.

Some of coins can exhibit a PL surface- the images suggest a slight PL surfaces are possible-

I think some of them are slightly prooflike. They really look quite nice in hand.

Hard to tell from the images, but they seem really nice.
