    Depends what color you want to achieve.
    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    Got quoins?

    350 degrees for four to six hours and don't forget to crack the coin out of the slab first. I always get burned if I don't do that..

    I like eating my coins raw - takes too long for them to cool after being in the ovenimage

    Does it make any difference if the oven is gas or electric?

    And what about sauces....is barbecue sauce best for color?

    Result of my own experiment. This coin was heated inside a spoon over an open flame on my stove. I watched it turn from silver to gold to prange to red to blue and then finally purple. I also learned that if the coin touches all sides of the spoon, it will target tone. I did this not to deceive, but to keep from being deceived. I spent the coin.image I'd love to know how many eyebrows it raised. They become much easier to recognize if you understand the look and the process. JMO

    In an effort to stem the tide of disease, the FDA now mandates that all coins be cooked well done.

    I've found that basting the coin regularly is a very important step. :

    Better just to cook them over an open flame!

    That sounds more like freebasing coins. Freebasing's baaad, Mmmkay. You don't remember what happened to Richard Pryor?
