<p>[QUOTE=&quot;madspec, post: 132596, member: 5661&quot;]I bought a bottle of the artificial toner from ebay. it takes a lot of experimentation to get a fairly realistic tone on a coin, I used some face value silver coins I have, and if you want to clean it off and start again just dip the coin.&nbsp; It did not permanently stain any of them although a couple were very dark. </p><p>The chemical is diammonium sulfide and it smells bad so do not try this at the kitchen table. The bottle is very small but it does not take but a small drop to tone a coin.&nbsp; Try using a plastic bowl, a very small one is best, and stand the coin up leaning on the side of the bowl, drop 1 drop of toner in the bottom of the bowl, NOT ON THE COIN, cover bowl and check every 20 to 30 seconds untill the desired affect is reached.</p><p>It is something interesting in playing with, but I would not use on a very expensive coin,maybe a common date morgan or peace , the better condition the coin the better it works though.&nbsp; I got good results on a 1921 AU&nbsp; Morgan it looks natural.</p><p>Hope this helps some.</p><p><br /></p><p>Marion[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
