Naturally Retoning Copper

Wahoo554

I collect love tokens and have an interesting piece that is bright red from some type of treatment at some point. Any recommendations on how I should store it to help facilitate it acquiring a darker/more natural looking patina over time? Thanks.

Pack it with a piece of cheap cardboard.

Thanks for the tip.

I definitely would not pack it with cheap cardboard. It will most likely end up with an artificial blue/purple color.
