- Silver Coin Toning & Cleaning - How To Spot Artificial Toning & Cleaning on Silver Coins & Morgan Dollars.
Since posting this video, I have figured out my audio issue when zooming in and out. This will be corrected in future videos, hopefully it wasn't too noticeable...

30in mirrors!!!!!😎😎😎😎
Yeah, now it's DMPL 😆
Good video my man 👍
Thank you for watching!
I guess I was expecting the coin to be stationary, but the heat moved around cautiously. However, you did show what happens if heat is taken to the limit. Thanks!
Do you know that a Morgan is Work Hardened from lots of Pinging both at the Mint and in Circulation and when you heat it up you loose the hardening. You need to Hammer Ping the Coin to re-Harden it. If you don't it will be soft like Silver Bullion.
Put some Vinegar on it and set it in bright sunlight or put it under a bright light bulb and see what happens.
I use a small creme brulee/kitchen butane torch for artificially toning clad, silver and copper coins. The result in time and practice creates some absolutely stunning toned coins. Direct heat at the tip of the flame typically results in an overheat and no good colors. Combination of low heat from a distance, heat cool reheat, different angles, allowing unburned fuel to react on the hot surface and much more. I find the best is on proof or high MS grade coins that have minimal to no surface contamination from finger tips, environmental factors etc
Interesting! Thank you for the info, I might have to give that a try!
@@JoshuaAndersonLife of course I do this on common coins after first verifying no varieties or errors etc.
eZest, from the MSDS is Urea and Sulfuric Acid
👍
@@JoshuaAndersonLife oops I meant MSDS
After using the torch heat, does the flat blast white look rub off easily with a cloth?
I haven’t seen anyone use the method you demonstrated for toning. It was interesting to me as something else to keep in mind regarding toning and cleaning methods. Thanks a lot for sharing this information.
What is the name liquid that you used first to tone the Morgan?
I wouldn’t use it on Morgan/Peace dollars but it would be interesting to see it’s effect on other junk silver coins.
Hey, thank you! The blast weight surface would not wipe off with a cloth and would require heavy polishing to get back to having a shiny look.
The solution I used for toning is a mixture of liver of sulfur and water.
Thanks for the video. What was the media you were using in your tumbler. I have a 1798 Sicilian silver 6 Tari coin that had been polished and I was thinking of using a tumbler with some kind of media to reduce that polished look.
Hi, I'm a coin collector as well and probably would not really recommend using the Tumblr to clean or polish your coins but this is the exact medium that I have in my Tumblr: >2 Lb 1/8" Stainless Steel Ballcone Tumbling Media Shot Jewelers Tumbler Finishing, with Shinebrite Burnishing Compound
@@JoshuaAndersonLife U do realize all these guys asking questions are simply bleeding yer brain for more information. U R simply teaching us how to make more money selling (AU) almost uncirculated Morgan's. Cheers😅
@@black_David_bobbyd5276 I'm happy to help... 😆
It is not Steel it will not change colors when you heat it.
Warning : a1878 Morgan Proof does not have Luster.
I have never Toned a Morgan. I am thinking about Gun Bluing a Morgan though.
Somebody replied telling me that if they use a lower heat torch like is used for creme brulees that they've had good luck with toning. I might give it a try at some point, but not really something I'm very interested in doing to any of my coins anyway.
@@JoshuaAndersonLife I googled that. Yeah you funny LOL
😆
How long does your EZest last?
In last years as far as just being good in the jar. It works very well on silver, and the silver will most likely take longer to tarnish again after using it.
How do you know that is not a Proof.
Are you talking about the Morgan that I heat treated and toned?
@@JoshuaAndersonLife Yeah The Basin Polishing looks Proof. I'm still learning myself, Just submitted two coins to PCGS to see if they are Proofs. They have the wide Rim though. I'll know more when they come back. I could be wrong, I am a Rookie.
That 78P doesn't look like a real Morgan.
Probably just because I 'put it through the ringer' but it's real...
Hate to break it to you, you just bastardized a die variety coin... see the crack between her hat and N,....
Every Morgan has a die variety. I won't be missing this one...
