<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 163603, member: 4552&quot;]When I read items like this I usually run out to my garage and try doing dumb things associated with the topic. So I drilled a hole in a quarter, nickel and a cent. I brought them back in and pussed a cotton wad soaked in gun bluing solution into the hole. After drying I looked at each coin with a 20X and then a 30X minature microscope. I could not detect the fact that the hole was new. I&#039;ve used gun cleaning solutions in the past for one of my many experiments in toning or aging a coin. It is the best thing so far for making things look old. </p><p>So back to the coins with holes in them. Just drill a hold yourself and use gun bluing solution to darken the hole to make it look like it&#039;s been there forever. The main thing is to use a small cotton swab so you don&#039;t get the stuff on the rest of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
