[QUOTE="WINS7, post: 20622, member: 1413"]I was a little surprised to see so many folks who opinions I've learned to respect provide information on how to become a toning doctor, but OK, here's some more ways to ruin your coins. :( - Using a standard toaster oven, place your coins on the center of the tray and toast 'em for about 5-6 min. You can also alternately stack dimes, quarters and nickels and cook 'em longer. Be careful when removing the coins, a coin heated to several hundred degrees will take the skin right of your fingers and simply ruin the coloring you've work so hard to acquire. The colors will amaze you and then you too can sell them on ebay to some smuck who doesn't know any better. :mad: - Suspend a coin in a jar with apple, orange or tomato juice in the bottom, but not touching the coin.
