  • If those are really natural toning, which I assume they are, they are really sweet looking.

    Sorry, im not very good with telling AT from NT. I know though that it wouldn't make sense for such brand new coins like those nickels to already be toned to that degree.image

    Do you bake them at the same setting as for the Pizza? Hate to waste all that heat ruining coins.

    I thought rainbowroosie was refering that these were real. Either way I still think they look pretty cool.

    No, I think the toning is "questionable."........image

  • Throw some on the top of your woodstove for the night - A lot cheaper then firing up the oven or torch

    The colors are, how can I politely say this.......abnormal, unatural, unreal, AT, implausible

    and look awful. These coins were not manufactored by a Mayo Clinic Trained Coin Doctor.
    There once was a place called
    Camelotimage
  • The 4 Keelboats went for $2.06 each with shipping! 41 times face!!

    Excuse me, I've got to get some rolls out of the oven...

    Easybaked. Here are some I made as a reference set a while back so I could recognize them easier.

    This is one of the reasons that I find collecting "toned pieces" rediculous. It seems awful funny how everything has a "colorful" tone nowadays. When the "craze" is finished for toned coins, some people are going to feel really foolish for spending their coin allowance on a subjective quality such as this. -Dan

    You've got to admit the man does good work.
