    Then I hate to say it, but chances are, someone else probably already "discovered" it way before you did.

    I discovered the holy grail too once when I was a kid & dumped all my steel cents into a bucket full of muriatic acid... the toxic fumes nearly killed me, but man, I'd never seen those coins so shiny! image

    << <i>I think someone else made a similar "discovery" in the 1970s. That person processed quite a number of Morgan dollars, and sold them. It worked for a while, but folks caught on. These whizzed coins are sometimes are referred to as "California Proofs." To the untrained eye they look MS67 DMPL, and when they were new on the market, they did fool some folks. Remember this is back in the 1970s before grading companies, before there were eleven grades for uncirculated coins. >>

    Not trying to get you mad but do you now what luster is? So many new collectors think a coins shine and luster are the same thing.... they are not.

    The funniest part of this thread are the forum members that are taking the OP seriously and are trying to convince him he is wrong. Can't you guys recognize a spoof thread when you see one?

    I guess you can add me to those caught in the net because I just read the whole thread. IMO, clearly a contrived setup with poor spelling and an absurd claim that ensnared a few unwary forum members. No harm done, a good laugh, and I learned how to spell "unscruplious."

    Who's calling who a moron now?

    I found a wayto turn silver into pork chips, FRESH CUT pork chops. I don't want to tell how because I can make money on it. I will submit my. Pork chops to the USDA for review. If they come back Choice, I will let you know.

    Sorry but you will be disappointed....There are only two grades for pork chops (or chips) Acceptable and unacceptable

    Buying Pork
    Like lamb, pork is generally produced from young
    animals and is, therefore, less variable in tenderness
    than beef. However, there is another reason why pork
    is less variable. Producers have responded to consumer
    demand by actually changing their feeding and
    management programs. They’ve even changed the
    genetic makeup of their breeding stock to consistently
    produce leaner carcasses. Also, most visible fat is
    trimmed off at the processing plant. Because of these
    changes, today’s fresh pork products have considerably
    less fat than they did just a decade ago.
    Because of this consistency, USDA grades for pork
    reflect only two levels of quality - Acceptable and
    Unacceptable. Acceptable quality pork is also graded
    for yield, i.e., the yield ratio of lean to waste. Unacceptable
    quality pork - which includes meat that is
    soft and watery - is graded U.S. Utility.

  • Of course if one could really add luster or add value any sort of way it is easy to monetize the idea.

    Simply get some semi-valuable coins, add luster, then sell them for a profit.

    Good luck! image

    This is why pork is so dry when cooked like your parents cooked it.

    How do you determine Artifical pork from natural pork. I misspelled artificial to keep this in line with the OP.

  • Ok, this is a little embarrasing. Last night when I started this post, I was 3 sheets to the wind,,. LOL...

    Well, at least it was wine, so no big hangover. Geeesh.! I have alot to do today, so this will be breif and REVEALING.!!

    First, I did enjoy reading everyones responses, funny thread. I was honest, in that last night I did take 3 coins from my collection, and THOUGHT that they were worn, BECAUSE they were dirty looking.....
    So, I wanted to expierament with them, (who hasnt tried it?). I figured they would still be worth melt value. Well, I did some reading around the internet about toning and so forth, and read that someone used "Dandruf Shampoo" to make their silver dollars rainbow tone, Well, I said, "I will try that"...

    So, went and bought some.. (because I don't have dandruff, LOL)....

    So, I put them on a plate, and and covered them completely with the shampoo, and put them in the oven on 250 for like 2-3hours, And yes, this is when I started to drink the wine as well. hehehe....
    Well, the stuff was smelling pretty good actually, and after awhile, I pulled them out, let them cool.....
    And washed them off (with hot tap water), and YES, they ALL were significantly more lusterious and BU.!, WELL guess what I realized ????

    (Unfortunatly after I started this post that is.....lmao.!!)

    I realized these coins were already "Dirty toned" , or naturally toned, whichever, they were dirty looking, BUT BU coins laying underneath !!

    You see, I have never CLEANED a coin (Chemically at least), before, So, I had never seen a coin that had LOOKED dirty (and I thought worn)and then come out SHINY.!!
    You all probably have, and if you haven't, it's quite a shock to see this happen, lolol.....Sorry, I can't stop laughing over this.
    So, I wanted to just clear this all up. It goes to show we all learn something new, and this has taught me to look closer at a coin.
    So, give it a try...!! I don't think it hurt anything to the coin, but they do look great, and they are staying with me.

    OH, and YES, I am still burying my coin collection.!! Have a great day ALL.!!! imageimageimage BTW - where is the spellcheck button?
