<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2125850, member: 15199"]With a good Chemical and Science background , theoretically anyone could do it with a few $$$ of equipment and chemicals. But only a very very small fraction would be MA from a uncontrolled dip and color, maybe 1 out of 100 or 500, Slab the one and either sell the rest as AT on ebay , or dip and try again. It is a very low income for the time and work. Make toning chambers out of plastics to mimic how an album would hold them , use computerized times and quantitative chemical release via valves and sensor, and more $$$$, you probably, after experimentation and standardization, improve to 1/50 or better. Same problem, is it profitable? Even with out a computer, you need the background, chemicals, and time. With 50,000 -100,000 startup, chemical knowledge, I estimate an individual could make 5- 20 MA rainbow toners a week ( estimate, as I haven't done it, and I know no one who will admit they have). If you have this in a lab of your, and spare time, it could be done. The higher the value of the basic coin, the more suspicious people will be, so you can not just high end it. A lot of 1880-S and such. I make $60 hr part time teaching, and enjoy it, and wouldn't start this as I would clear less and be miserable ( Would Lehigh say it was AT or not? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ). AT is like engraving buffalo 5 cents, it would best be done in Prison, rather than spending multitude hours for little income. Also many would be tempted to brag, or advertise their skills, and be out forever. It may be easy theoretically, but is it profitable enough for the risk?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
