    To me, it seems as if all of them are AT :(

    I'll wait for a few more responses and then I'll tell the results.

    At first they all seemed to have a heat treatment look to them. Unless the pics are misleading there doesn't seem to be much other color then red in there, except for the quarter, which appears to have maybe been in a coin book at one time.

    Circulated coins IMHO don't make for great toners. Maybe because they have been exposed to perspiration among other things.

    Tough question, can't wait to heard the answer.

    Whatever. I'll just tell you guys. They are all ATd. Only the top two are heat treated. The quarter was painted with bleach. Thanks for guessing.

    You should have let this bait soak in the water for a little while longer....

    I was gonna guess #1 and #2. #3 looked questionable, but wasn't sure.

    That said, the pics make determining NT/AT even more difficult than it is with the coin in-hand (dicey)....Mike

    I have some other ones. I'll put them up as soon as I can get pics.

    Not a bad thing. I was the one who did it as an experiment last year. I have some more difficult to tell ones too.

    Pics that are straight down on the coin would be better. :)

    Yep more time needed , I was going to say the Washington for sure , the top two I wasn't sure about but thought they looked Baked , AJ gave a good suggestion awhile ago , take a roll of garbage pre '82 cents and destroy them , he meant bake them , dip them , whizz them anything you can think of , then you'll know what they look like , I'm going to get a roll of pre '64 qaurters and do the same thing .

    I have tested out more than a roll of pre-82's. I'll never get burned on a copper for cleaning or artificial toning if I see it in hand. Silver, I'm better than my local dealer at it.:)

    BTW I would do dimes instead. Less to lose.

  18. every last one of them.

    Why are you trying it on so many coins? You trying to become a coin doc?

    The method you are using is very crude and will not replicate natural toning so why waste your time ruining coins?

    I actually think circulated toners are very cool and they are super hard to find. Here are a few of my best

    First off, your guess is off, second, I don't do it anymore. I did it last year to learn how to detect it and now I know.
