<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 133601, member: 4552"]There has been lots of postings here in the past about toning. I don't know how to link to them. However, I have tried numerous methods and some work and some don't. As for heating a coin note that different types of heat applied will result in different toning. Over a gas stove direct, in a pan on a gas stove, over a bar-b-que grill, matches, propane lighters, matches, etc. One thing that resulted in deep blue toning was heating over a gas stove and dumping in dish soap. Again, different dish soaps created a different toning. Ajax dish soap worked the best. Putting coins in a pan with Vinegar, lemon or lime juice, miscelaneous other products and boiling only cleaned the coins, not toned them. A great method is to soak a cotton ball with gun bluing solution, place the coin in there for a few minutes and great toning. It's fun to experiment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
