just in case anybody thought there were no artificialy tone coins around or wanted to tone one (and it won't hurt the coin:desk: ) I thought you might like this.http://cgi.ebay.com/Coin-Toner-Use-w-1916D-Mercury-Dime-Gold-Silver-EAGLE_W0QQitemZ330054057839QQihZ014QQcategoryZ41091QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330054057839 It looks good on the dime, but I don't think I would want to try it.
It says that the actual solution will never come into contact with the coin...how's that possible? Anyone tried this out?
"My method and formula will not damage or destroy your coin because the actual solution will never come in contact with your coin. My method is 100% natural, meaning that this type of toning is the one that occurs in nature, and normally takes a number of years to complete." Good catch. Perhaps a genie pops out and grants five wishes (the bottle does five coins). ???
Yeah, just seems kind of...impossible. But hey, maybe it works just fine. I wouldn't mine toning up my ol' Hadrian denarius, or maybe the '41 VF large cent I purchased yesterday. Or maybe not. Toned coins are one thing, and toning an otherwise inexpensive silver coin in MS isn't a crime, but why bother? It's nice just to know a coin was toned naturally and not artificially.
no-touch toning I assume that the fumes from the chemicals do the toning. So according to the ad, chemical reactions or coatings do not harm coins!!
Despite numerous paragraphs, the ad does not attempt to explain even the first thing about what this formula does, other than somehow give you a toned coin without physical contact. Snake oil.
fumes I'm not sure how it works, but if it is from fumes the bottle may be very small and the chemical may be fast evaporating. Why don't you buy some and let us know how it works?
Hey, I didn't start this thread, uh, perhaps the person who went out of his way to find this stuff and post this should experiment for all of us. Yeah, that's it. Uh, who started this topic?
