<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Good Cents, post: 5185478, member: 100720&quot;]If it isn&#039;t going to stay that color, then everyone is on equal footing - nobody&#039;s copper escapes toning and everyone&#039;s copper needs to be cleaned periodically in order to keep the toning away.</p><p><br /></p><p>And how secret will this information stay if, as you say, lots of people know this method?</p><p><br /></p><p>If people, including TPGs, want to be unethical and claim that the color of the copper coins they are selling are the original color, and if the people buying them don&#039;t realize that that is unlikely, then they can take a number and get in line with all the other unethical people in the world who misrepresent the products they&nbsp; sell. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m wondering if there is a single thing I&#039;ve purchased in my life that hasn&#039;t been misrepresented. From my car&#039;s gas mileage, to my light bulb&#039;s hours of life. I can&#039;t think of anything that I&#039;ve ever purchased that has not been misrepresented. That&#039;s capitalism. Buyer beware. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t act unethically when I sell something (which thankfully is not my day job), but lots of people do act unethically when selling their wares. All of us consumers take our chances. And at a certain point, the understanding is that it&#039;s misrepresented. Such as the mileage on cars and the life of a light bulb. We all still buy stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I was just trying to help my little nephews who wanted to get their copper rounds to look shiny and new without ruining them and to make their old pennies filling their pennies folders look shiny and new. The oldest of them is barely 11 and the youngest is 5. There is no business motivation here. </p><p><br /></p><p>Besides, I have a day job and spending hours on end looking for a needle in a haystack simply because it may possibly be worth $100 is not my idea of fun in my down time. I have fun with the kids filling their pennies folders and they wanted to make their pennies and copper rounds they collect look shiny without ruining them. Oh well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
