Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 04/13/2016 7:52 pm I'm wondering how this appearance was achieved. It's strangely bizarre, even for an AT Ike. http://www.ebay.com/itm/28199218416...RK:MEBIDX:IT Report this Post to the Staff

NoPoMoCo Valued Member United States 403 Posts	Posted 04/13/2016 9:35 pm This video shows a quick electrochemical way to get extreme artificial toning on silver VrA7Jyw1uOs Don't know if it would work on other metals. Yes, horrendous. * Edited by Staff to add YouTube tags. [youtube][/youtube] Please use them in the future. We prefer embedded video. * Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 11:43 am I'd pay face for it without question, just for a curiosity piece. But he's asking $30? Geeez. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 190135 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 12:11 pm I agree. I would certainly keep it if I got it in change. But paying a premium? Nope.

n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 1001 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 1:24 pm Well, it is silver (40%) so the melt is maybe $5. Otherwise it isn't worth any premium. Actually looks like environmental damage to me but I am no expert. Report this Post to the Staff

For some reason I had it in my mind that it was a Denver issue. Yes, I'd pay $5 for it. I think Cascade is right - frying pan torture.

Sap Moderator Australia 16876 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 8:10 pm It looks to me just like the damage that happens when a coin is placed onto that awful red fake-velvet foam, that was commonly used back in the 1970s by numismatic re-packagers and mass-marketeers. That stuff was acidic and quickly caused the coins to tarnish in a very un-natural way, turning the high points and open fields black. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
