<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 108903, member: 4373&quot;]How about this as an important read. One thing, you NEVER try to clean coins, regardless of whatever they are, unless you don&#039;t mind losing their value or the face value is at face value. </p><p><br /></p><p>Next thing, cleaning itself strips a thin layer of metal so that it appears that the coin has been &quot;cleaned&quot;. Hence it leaves some kind of bright surface but if you show that to most coin collectors, they can tell it&#039;s obviously cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>To add to the horror of what you are trying to do, are you trying to join the rest of the scammers of &quot;toning&quot; old coins so that you can sell it as a prenium? I really hope NOT.</p><p><br /></p><p>Toning is a process that is done over a long period of time and not just some few hrs of works. It is like saying how one is going to make wine out of common grape juice. There is nothing wrong to experiment on colour effects, but to sell such &quot;manufactured&quot; toned coins, you are doing an awful &quot;crime&quot; in the coin communities. </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess one of the methods to tone coins is to put coins into sulfuric envelopes and put it under very strong sunlight, which helps to accerlate toning process, as most toning process usually require sulfur.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
