Hey my Steem friends. It's that time again, where I show off some of my treasures. Nothing too big this time.
First we have a silver skull, in the style of the Sugar skulls in the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration. I love the colors on this! I'll admit I'm not sure how they made the rainbow toning effect (anyone know?).
The back side: this is two ounces of pure 999 silver.
Four of these grinning skulls. Note the color variation here, no two skulls are exactly alike. So colorful!

Next up we have a coin of the egyption style I love so much. A nice aged look, with hieroglyphs and a cartouche.
Opposite side, an egyptian kitty! This is a small 1/2 ounce coin of 999 fine silver. It's a nice looking small piece.
I picked up twenty of these little guys.

A total of 18 ounces of pure silver added to stack.

As additional information and since you also collect coins, we can add that the toning, we can also see it, naturally, on the coins when a discoloration is formed or light patina due to oxygen and chemicals in the air acting on the metal. This oxidation can result in a variety and level of toning and also depends on the properties of the metal – silver, gold, copper, nickel, etc.
Toning in coins is a slow and normal process that can take months to years to appear. Should you worry about toning? If you’re storing your coins properly, don’t. Unless a coin is in a vacuum, it’s going to start at some point.
The toning and its color will depend on a coin’s metal composition. Older coins can show more color variations due to multiple and less pure metal "blends". And metals like copper and silver can react more quickly and often times tone easier when exposed to the environment.
Here are some very general toning characteristics of the major metals in coins we know today:
Copper – The life cycle you’re most typical to see is orange to reddish-brown to full brown to nearly black.
Nickel – Silver-ish to eventually a musty gray.
Silver – Bright silver to brown to black. Sometimes rainbow-style colors appear in the toning of silver, which can really add to value.
Gold – Bright yellow to orange. Sometimes a reddish color.

Hello @neoxian your all silver skull and silver coins collection are very well. First time i see silver skull. Both side have very stylish and egyption style was too good. you are genious sir.
I love the egyptian rounds! I just went to their website and looked around, and they have really cool stuff. I dig the copper dice and dominos that they are selling too. thanks for the post!
Skull 💀
I like it most because i saw many movies where used skull.
Those silver colored coins are awesome @neoxian
That’s exactly what popped in my mind when I read yoor post about your silver skulls. Belive it or not, few hours ago I saw post about ancient coins made BC. I made a comment “I wish I had one of these”. Well here it is available.
Nice pieces you've picked up there. I reckon the Metals Mafia guys would know about the rainbow toning. Those guys are highly skilled silversmiths.
I'm a fan of the Egyptian stuff too. Take a look at the Relic series and fractionals on apmex if you haven't already. I did a post on them a little while back. Thanks for sharing @neoxian.
Very beautiful! Very nice to enjoy. It's silver picture skull remarkable. Thank you @neoxian was introduced to US. Greetings!
I love the egyptian kitty coins. It reminds me of my beloved cats.
Sweet additions man, I have one of the sugar skulls, but never seen those other ones yet, thanks for sharing.
Your siverbugs different kind of collection.
Intersting grinning skuls.
When I see them very good @neoxian sir.
That skull would be perfect for my pirate flag XD
The skull is stunning..
Great collection @neoxian
Egyptian style and Egyptian kitty two silver coin wonderful design @neoxian
Wow! Those skulls are beautiful!
Learned a new word today 'cartouche' :)
I am a fan of neoxian bank..
Good collection ,sir ................
I like skulls, I like that design I think they took the time and dedicated themselves to making every detail I saw the skulls that are put to celebrate in the day of the dead in Mexico and if they are very similar, I am also curious to know how they made each one have that rainbow color @neoxian
These are awesome! I just got a few mercury dimes the other day, but will check this out!
You have a very nice collection now I liked more the coins that you showed us some days ago that had something gold I think it was gold and the silver coin, but they are interesting I have never seen any like that as the skulls and I also do the same question that you
I liked this collection 18 ounces more of silver very well, will you have more things like these? I hope you keep showing me I like the design of the coins is like a cat of those that was in the time of the Egyptian goddesses I like this collection very good details in silver @neoxian
Unique and beautiful coin @neoxian sir, success always for you, you are a great man, thank you very much for your attention and support to steemian
I think a little heat makes em tone like that. Like people are artificially toning Vintage coins with a torch because it’s the “in thing” with collectors now. I guess different heat ranges give different colors. Either way they are magnificent. Nice score homie.
Just amazing , pure silver .
Wow it's very nice @neoxian, you are so amazing. Rainbow is very beautiful, very beautiful colors look, hopefully always successful our best witness @neoxian
all of your great collections of gold and silver. Your silvergold series is tremendous all your series has exceptional fee. i am very interested by silver cranium, the layout could be very quality colo. those coin are so appealing and you are right,,it's the treasure,,Rainbow toning impact may also maintain an awesome function to reveal off ,,First time i see silver skull. both aspect have very elegant and egyption style became too suitable. I want i will get this cute cranium!
I like the Skulls the most ;)
One of a kind !
Oh nice @neoxian! I was just looking at those on the Monarch site. Cool to see the difference in each one.
Thank your sir share show off some of my treasures....i love neoxian bank
These are just too amazing.
Wonderful collection you got up there, laying my hand on those;my dream
Awesome silver my friend. Love Monarch stuff myself as well. Glad to see I’m not alone...👍
Monarch makes some cool stuff
Nice collection sir @neoxian. although I'm not a collector, I have heard convincing arguments from silver enthusiasts, who claim that silver is making a comeback. I could liken the scenario to altcoins in the crypto world with religious followers. thanks for sharing your collection.
Those are good coins but I liked the skulls even better.
Man they are completely blinged out - loved them. Some really great design work on them and it shows.
Your collection keeps growing
Damn...these skulls looking absolutely perfect.
Amazing color variation!
And the coins also.Egypt culture.
18 Ounce of coins. The best bank theory. Converting money into Silver & Gold
Gold and Silver as well as crypto prices are going to have a great price once world tribulation happens because of another looming war. @neoxian
My Witness @neoxian.
I like your silver coins. The 2 types are interesting. The skull of Mexico and the Egyptian ornament was very nice. If you can please also tell me ..
Hehe
Thank you sir
