drwstr123 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Purchased these a couple of years ago on Bay of E. I got a kick out of them, with all the frenzy over toning. The seller calls himself "Articents". The coins seemed to be pulled shortly after these were bought. Glad I got these while I did and hope you enjoy seeing them.

Art Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 You don't think they may have been helped along in their toning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffibunny Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 You can make yellow by cooking? Cool, I'm going to try that. I like the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Mine turned a nice golden in the oven after a while. I think it was around 350 degrees. Can't remember how long. Nickel and clad seemed to have sometimes get nice blues. Uncircs work best. Brand new from change type stuff. I have no idea if cooking change is hazardous to your health.

ikaros Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Okay, I'm not a big fan of purple and blue toning, but that 2000D just plain rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 I have no idea if cooking change is hazardous to your health. Only if you eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwstr123 Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I was never under the notion that these were cooked. I have the idea that they were gassed. It appears the seller was making an attempt to control the toning as a chemist would control an experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 That could be. Especially for the first one. I have never seen a cooked cent come out anywhere near that colorful. In fact, I am not even sure what you would gas that copper plating with to get those colors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
