What coin finish looks best for a wedding or anniversary keepsake?

Antique silver and antique nickel are the most requested wedding finishes — the antiquing settles into the recesses so engraved names and dates read clearly, and the result looks like an heirloom rather than a souvenir. Polished gold suits gold-and-ivory themes, and dual plating puts both metals on one coin when the wedding colors call for it.

For a milestone anniversary, antique silver for a 25th and polished or antique gold for a 50th follow the traditional gift metals. Every finish is shown on your free proof, and our plating options page has photographs of each one.
