The History of a Cleaned Coin

Recently at a coin show I purchased a coin well cleaned and coated with something on the reverse. It looked like this:
I then took this coin and placed it into a teflon coated pan, added water and broght to a boil. Nothing appeared to be happening so I began adding things from around the kitchen. As the water boiled I added Garlic Powder, Garlic Salt, Onion Powder, Onion Salt, Black Pepper, Basil, Liquid Almond and Coconut Extracts, Vinegar, Benefiber and several other items. I removed the coin and put it on the gas burner of the stove and turned up to high for a few minutes and then placed in Dove Dish Soap to cool. This is the results:
I thought since not much to loose I'd try one more thing. Here is something I never thought of before and never heard of anyone trying. Put the coin in a cotton ball soaked with Birkwood Perma Blue Liquid Gun Blue solution. Here is the results and kind of looks like a just old coin to me. Anyone think I'm nuts???????

<< <i>The gun blue is permanent. I would have gone with that very last--after trying Mazzola corn oil, Stockman's steak sauce, wart remover, Heinz ketchup and Hellman's mayonnaise and KY jelly. >>
can any say bladder control ?
When all else fails, a little coffee mate makes a black cup of coffee turn to a lovely copper color. Try that !
will be showing this coin on this site as his
"original" "crusty" Lincoln.
The first 2 on my neighbors car hood. The second on a piece of wood holding down the top cover on my bar-b-que grill. The second was on a paper towel also on my neighbors car hood.
Sounds strange but his car is on my car port and my car is in his garage.
<< <i>...and KY jelly. >>
Apropos to one of your sig icons.
