Hey,
A hard boiled egg is by far your quickest, and harmless way possible. The key is to use heat and light in conjunction.
1. Take a crock pot and set it to low or warm. (if you don't have one take a glass Pyrex dish, and use plastic wrap to cover).
2. hard boil an egg, and while still hot, place into either your crock pot or dish.
3. smash egg in pot, but be sure to not let the egg touch coin.
4. cover dish or crockpot
5. Put direct light onto the coin from the top of the dish.
6. wait about 10 mins and toning will start to instantly occur.
If starting with a white coin, coin will first become golden toned, then turn into magenta's and blues. This progression happens very fast and if left too long will turn darker and eventually become blackened.
If you find that the coin is coming out with an unattractive spotting, place coin first into a 2x2 manilla style coin holder (paper kind, not the plastic, pvc, staple style, ECT.......good ole paper towel works too but dont over do it. The spotting is caused by the moisture released from the egg.
Good luck doc!
