<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambro, post: 318635, member: 11143&quot;]I kind of hate to let the secret out.....but as a photographer using the wet plate process, we have found a trick to get that toning onto an unvarnished new plate, to show the effects of age and being part exposed to the&nbsp; air/ and part under a mat.&nbsp; Its not a nice thing to fake an antique, but it can be done.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Its putting the plate in a little box with a diced up hard boiled egg.&nbsp; The areas under the mat remain fresh, while the image area will tone inward from the edge of the mat.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I dont know if it will tone coins, but silver is silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
