Post your "window sill" toners.

LakesammmanLakesammman Posts: 17,702 ✭✭✭✭✭

Placed a few coins on my window sill in the office several years ago.

This is one of the silver coins I made with Dan Carr several years ago - developing some very nice toning! It's in a white 2x2 envelope.

    Hmmm... I can take a photo of my can of acetone that's sitting on a window sill, but I don't think that's what you're after.

    One of my first forum posts here was about this coin. I left it raw on a sunny window sill for over a year.

    Why don't you flip them over now and then and try for even toning on both sides?

    Does flipping matter if in an envelope??
