Compenstine Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 It will not take that long to do it naturally just by handling it. There are ways of forcing it, but I personally do not like the results in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 OK,its got a little bit already.maybe I'll just let it patina on its own naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthling789 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I had a really good, but dull, greenish-brown patina on my Copper Penny, and I finally got tired of looking at it... It just looked "dirty" and grungy, and had that old penny smell (yuk). I polished it really well with Mother's Fine-metal polish, and restored it's shiny "new penny" look (and smell). Now, after sitting on the shelf for a month, it has a beautiful reddish hue to it! I've never been one to force patina on any brass, bronze, or copper... I think a natural evolution just looks more... well... "natural", lol. Tug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
