I know, I should study more on toning within the coins. But this is too cool even if it's artificial toning. Possibly one of the coolest ones I found aside from my 2017 quarter. Either verdict, still love the color.
I would rather not speculate on the question posed in the title. It is fun to imagine where coins in our collections might have been, but just as often I'm sure there are times and places they've been that we wouldn't want to know about! As to the toning itself, I have no idea. Could be one of any number of reasons.
Pee pee toning? Now that's something you don't read everyday. I agree with Marcovan. Lick it on both sides.
I hate zinc too. Meh I think it looks cool. I also like those kinds of toning but I doubt I'll ever own anything with cool toning like you speak of
People can fall for the silliest things. The general answer is Not possible, and then the quirk, unless you eat several lbs of asparagus and a few pounds of garlic and keep the urine in your body for a day or more, then the urine will smell like sulfur ( from mercaptans ), but the concentration is very low compare to "commercial toning formulas". Also some intense urinary or prostate ( males only) infections, the bacteria can release sulfur compounds also. Go to Amazon and buy the concentrated chemicals if you want to doctor.
Your kidneys do an excellent job of preventing an urine that could cause drastic injury to your "external parts"such as by buffering. I would not expect the reactions/effects that I call 'toning', but there are sodium and chlorides and carbonates with a pH from alkaline ( vegetarians) to acid ( omnivores) in a healthy human , so more like the colors of "corrosion" if one did use such. Not the colors I would appreciate.
