<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 109171, member: 1674&quot;]you might want to search the forum for a user named billzach and contact him.&nbsp; He does hobo nickel carvings and one of the important things about that is that after he has carved a design on a coin then he must retone it so that it looks old.&nbsp; I believe he makes his own solution for retoning, so he may be able to help you find a suitable solution.&nbsp; IIRC, he said at one point that it contains spit, chewing tobacco juice, and a bunch of other stuff.&nbsp; I have no idea if his solution is a trade secret or if he&#039;d share the process with you, but it&#039;s worth a try.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside, even if you retone the coin to the same color as before, it will still be obvious to all but the most inexperienced coin collectors that the coin had been doctored.&nbsp; If your teacher is a competent collector you have no chance of fooling him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
