<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1034578, member: 26302"]Try getting some yellow envelopes, (contains sulphur), moisten lightly, put a penny in it and put them in an oven at about 200 degrees. Pull out every half hour, remoisten envelope, and repeat. This will add toning. Keep doing this enough and the coin will turn brown.

[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1034578, member: 26302"]Try getting some yellow envelopes, (contains sulphur), moisten lightly, put a penny in it and put them in an oven at about 200 degrees. Pull out every half hour, remoisten envelope, and repeat. This will add toning. Keep doing this enough and the coin will turn brown. Oldest trick in the book. Btw I don't think the OP coin picked up anything from the deck, this is just toning. Its a little harder to change from red to brown than people realize, otherwise there would not exist any red large cents.[/QUOTE]
