<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 891017, member: 7638"]I don't expect these experiments to yield much in the way of results. If one could achieve an attractively toned coin that looked "NT" by coating it with vaseline and sulfur, or baking it in an oven, it would be common knowledge. As Lehigh has pointed out, the coin "doctors" guard their secrets closely, and their techniques are quite sophisticated. I see little potential for these kitchen chemistry experiments to harm the toned coin market. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a cleaned, bright coin that you are tired of looking at, stick it in a little envelope, or wrap it in a brown napkin or whatever, and put it away for a few years. It will look different, maybe better, maybe not, but it will always be a cleaned coin. I will not get my knickers in a knot over this. FWIW, I am a "real" doctor and yesterday had 15 minutes to console a patient of mine who had lost his wife and son within 2 days of each other. This stuff is small potatoes, as far as I am concerned. </p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun and enjoy your coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
