    Just my two cents worth. A circulated coin today will be what a flowing hair use to be. 100 years from now all coins today will be old.
    So in my opinion there are no such thing as a regular coin, they just haven't aged yet.
    Thanks Big Ed

    I'll bet you $100,000,000 you're wrong. Of course, neither of us will be alive to collect.

    Hello Chris
    LOL. I would think that because of the amount of hoards there are today, you are right. I would just wonder what coin collecting would be a hundred years from now?
    Thanks Ed
     
  8. Wrap the coin in a taco bell napkin and place it in the dashboard of your car for about a month or so, flip over for another month or so. :D TC

    It's a mistake to equate so-called "AT" coins with counterfeit coins, Chris. I'm just saying...

    It's actually the same in my books. You alter coins to destroy the hobby (maybe even scam others) and you make counterfeits to do the same.

    BTW, why not call this thread " The Learning Center For New Docs" or even "Early Doc Developing For Scamming YN"? Maybe even subtitled "Supported by the administration". ;)

    Questions about oven toning... How long and I have heard of doing it in a baked potatoe in the oven. Anybody know if that works?

    go to a gun store or something of the sort
    I believe its called blue gunning could be off with the name.
    however if mixed right one drop has produced amazing colors before, however theyre obviously AT, even a newb can tell. regardless if you do experiment dip the bloody coin. dont leave it AT'd so someone gets scammed.
    Actually all the methofds listed out there produce obvious AT coins currently. im sure there are some existing but not listed.
    If you doing clad coins throw them in a oven lowest temp 15-30-45 mins, take a look at em, when there colors are ripe. afterwards, just spend those suckers. clad toners are generally worth face.

    Ahh....
    I was just doing common coinage I found in my change to see the outcome, haven't seen one, so thought I might as well try it. I don't want to do this to make a profit. Just to collect.

    I am curious on how these "blue gunning" coins looks. Anybody have any pics on these?

    Wrap them in tin foil and bury them together in your back yard for a few years. The tin foil won't help the color, but will make it easier to find them with a metal detector. No guarantee on what they will look like, but if you are just fooling around, why not try?

    It sounds like leaving a cleaned copper outside might restore the natural color?

    Thanks for the information. Three minutes over an electric burner worked perfectly for clad quarters.
    I will show these quarters to a few people, then they will get a decent burial in the washing machine coinbox next time I do laundry.
