<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman1981, post: 696292, member: 20610&quot;]Alex, there are people who have actually baked coins in potatoes, with butter, and have obtained all kinds of colors on their coins!&nbsp; :rolling: </p><p><br /></p><p>As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I once used a light bulb to tone a cleaned large cent, and it actually turned brown again -- but AT is something that most numismatists don&#039;t like doing to coins because it is, in effect, &quot;altering&quot; coins and even viewed as &quot;damage&quot; by some. No slabber will touch that coin without either returning it to you in a body bag or slapping a label on it bearing the words &quot;retoned,&quot; &quot;colored,&quot; or something like that. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to experiment, I personally suggest sticking to using something modern, common, and worth only face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
