Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 05/18/2024 05:20 am Thanks for posting Bobby! It's kind of a modern-day alchemy project. Once you have your copper quarter you can then use ebay to turn it into 'gold'! Your post made me wonder if I could find the opposite process. Turning copper into silver or even gold. Well guess what... Here's the video on how to turn copper coins into silver and gold. These are scary because it looks as if you can retain the original luster along with the change in color! Ebay IS going to be overloaded with fake off-metal errors, as if it's not already. From what I'm seeing with these videos I know I'd be hard pressed to say if they were real errors or not from just images! jrBncT4Gwys ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 05/18/2024 11:01 am Quote: + $65.00 shipping and handling. ..of course, no FREE Shipping on a rare GEM like that! I can recall doing school science experiments in the early 70's on Lincoln cents. I think it involved plating them (electro-plating). Not like the cool experiment shown in this post.
