<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 675435, member: 4552"]There are numerous methods to tone a coin. For some real experts, try the TCforum. That is a forum for TonedCoins.

Take matches, grind them up, place in a paper bag, place the coin in there also and let stand in the Sun for a few days.</p><p>2. Take Onions, Garlic, one egg and grind or mix all together. Allow to dry, place the coin in that mixture. Periodically check for over toning.</p><p>3. If you have a clay type flower pot around you, take some dirt, mix with hot pepper seeds, add lime juice, place in the pot and place the coin in that mixture for a few days. </p><p>4.
