[QUOTE="Delmer, post: 216412, member: 8219"][b]smoked washington[/b] Well I torched one.. 1-2 minutes worth of slow propane fuel. No oxygen turned on. The coin didn't glow.. I started small just to see what would happen and almost like NOS said, it turned color. More of a deep copper or brown with black-ish parts near the edge. maybe more time would make it blacker. The color does not come off.. the fuel left no residue or ash. I took pictures but they are all fuzzy. I'll take another one but here is the pic I have.. Mine does not have the total black look that his does... and mine is more shiney (I tried to rub the coating off and it shined up a bit) I'll try more heat. Gonna call this guy again and talk some. PS I'm not sure if I've just defaced currency.. but it's my intention to destroy this piece so it doesn't end up in someone's collection after I spend it..[/QUOTE]
