Blue Haze Gold

The Blue Haze gold can be found on high end mint state and proof gold coins that have been doctored and have started to turn.
I am surprised that this has never come up in the great "Coin Doctoring" debates. Perhaps the grading services have already cleaned up the majority of these coins.
I have seen MS67 and PF67 coins with the blue haze.
To me these cannot possible be original.

You mean like this.
Sorry, I didn't understand what you were talking about.
When you said Blue Gold I thought you were refering to GOLD coins that was toned BLUE.
I'd pay money to see that.

Nah, that's "A thing of beauty is a joy for ever "
I want to thank you for the nice things that yousaid in another thread. I tried to PM you and even tried on your web site, but PM is not available and I'm not sure that the contact works on the Sahara site. Best wishes

I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't no optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.
My mind reader refuses to charge me. . . . . . .
Also, isn't it possible the COPPER that is present in gold coins could create some sort of green/blueish toning. I have a couple of pieces (NOT high end for sure...62's or so) $10 Indians that have such toning. Just curious....
Thanks

<< <i>John: Please show us a picture if you have one. What kind of doctoring was done to these coins that later made them turn blue?

Sorry, but I have never owned one of the blue hazed coins that used to show up in major auctions and inside the grading room.
I also do not know how it was done or even had a discussion on the techniques with a "coin doctor".
Since I no longer attend the major auctions, I would not know what direction to send you to see a picture.
Hopefully one will show up at the shop so that I can send pictures.
