<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3300542, member: 15199&quot;]No, it is not natural toning, I watched the person make them using a old cruddy mint bag he had collected somewhere, This was in 1980, he was experimenting with H2S gas is a&nbsp; 3 liter desiccator container in a chemistry lab. It was an empty $1000 bag as I remember. He said he usually did it slowly in pulses to get more realism to the toning, so these were just to show me.&nbsp; He sold them to me for the price of silver and died 2 years later.&nbsp; I suspect if he had let the fiber absorb the chemicals rather than gas flow them through the weave&nbsp; in a hurry , the texture might be more realistic. I have no idea where the actual coins are in my possessions, but the are labeled as AT.&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
