canadiancoinaholic Valued Member Canada 137 Posts	Posted 03/25/2015 6:48 pm If it was chemically toned wouldn't the whole penny be toned or at least the complete obverse , the rim is still copper as well as the whole reverse .Im curious what would you use to chemically treat a penny to turn it gold. Thanks for the reply Dan Report this Post to the Staff

lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 03/28/2015 02:32 am There is a 24 caret "gold brushing" jewellery process to electronically coat coins. It also is available for silver and I am surprised I don't see it more often---especially for problem coins. Report this Post to the Staff
