nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 7:57 pm Cleaning my office out today I cam across an envelope on the window sill. All it had written on it was 'start date 07-27-09. Inside was a silver eagle only not so silver anymore. Then I remembered this thread. https://goccf.com/t/50357&whichpage=3 Well it did not turn out quite how I expected. it was there for longer than it should have been and I should have picked a coin without the finger prints. but here after almost a year in an envelope is my eagle.

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 06/09/2010 07:14 am The sulfur content of the paper is the main culprit. Its back in the envelope for another year... Report this Post to the Staff

Add a few drops to the inside of any envelope and allow to dry thoroughly. Add a beaten coin that's been rinsed in acetone and dried and voila... check every couple months to take a snap and record the process. It's practically a game in itself :). You can do two or three at a time with varying amounts of sulphur drops to get a feel for how much/fast the effect can be. Report this Post to the Staff
