Is the "CLEAN" cycle of a gas oven hot enough...

to tone coins? I think it's around 700 degrees at it's hottest and the full cycle runs about 2 hours.
Umm... a friend wants to know.

It was a while ago but if memory serves it was a purplish color. Pretty but definitely not natural looking. I spent the coin at a 7-11 shortly there after.

The heart of a Wood Stone oven is now available for your conventional rack or convection oven. We are now offering baking slates manufactured from the same ceramic used in the construction of our stone hearth ovens. The slates are cast into standard sheet pans so they are conveniently sized at 18" x 26", weighing 44 lbs (full sheet) and 13" x 18", weighing 18 lbs (half sheet).
In addition to enhancing the crust properties of pizza and bread products, the high temperature ceramic slates will help in the transformation of those mundane coins into spectacular monster rainbow toned coins and the oven will hold on to valuable heat that is normally lost every time the door is opened when checking on the progression of tone.

a couple minutes might be nice
I've tried it before with a very harshly cleaned Franklin but didn't get very good results.

He seems to prefer baking Jeffersons. Wonder if I can get his recipe.

Don't use an oven normally used for ceramics unless you want to make metallic mini beanie babies.
