Yep. That would be a blow torch. I see he not getting any nibbles either. What a shame.

Those poor coins This guy should never be near fire. It is like setting a car on fire to see the pretty colors.

He's sold hundreds of those things and his only neg is for charging $2.75 for shipping and he used a 34¢ stamp. Hmmm....

By mistake, I AT'd the chrome bumper on my dad's '62 Caddie. (A brief loss of concentration while welding a radiator mount!) I think I'm OK though becuase as I told dad, we can get it slabbed at ACG. When he protested, I just told him we could sell it on ebay as just one out of the hoard.

So far,....,so good!

At least they admit it. Sad they have to hurt the coins like that, though.

If you tone it, they will bid.

The R.I. quarter is up over $20.

Not a bad return on a .25 quarter and a few seconds with a blowtorch.

Heres a few I made useing a candle flame.Some are white as a comparison.You might think this ruins the coin,but they all can be dipped white again without any trace of prior toneing.
I hadnt planned on selling any of these but, anyone that would offer anything over face might be able to talk me out of some.

Hmmmm... thermal toning on state quarters... what an idea Some of the colors are actually kind of cool. Reminds me of my college roomate's tye-dyed shirt.
