  • They can't. To quote the owner of the coin:



    << <i>This quarter was artificially thermal toned. >>



    In other words - he torched it.

    You can create your own set at Thanksgiving by putting some coins wrapped in tin foil in the oven with the turkey.

    But you'll get mostly blue shades - got to get it pretty hot for the the orange/red - and then you can be thankful you didn't bid on that auction

    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

    Relayer,
    Just how do you explain you want to bake some coins inside the Thanksgiving Turkey? I'd really like to be there when you explained it. Were the coins placed in the stuffing or in some other part? I'm sure it seamed totally rational to you but to your family? My wife would have hit me in the head with her big wooden spoon.

  • My kids have colored several that look just like that.
    It's the "hunt" that makes this such a great hobby...
