    Careful, a dingo might eat it.

    What do you expect to cause blue toning?

    From the Internet:

    """

    They key to accelerating the toning process is to increase the amount of hydrogen sulfide in close proximity to your coins. Any source with a moderate sulfur content can accomplish this.

    Storing coins in paper and cardboard holders.
    Wrapping coins in white tissue paper.
    Sealing coins in brown or manilla envelopes.
    Storing in antique coin albums if you can find them.
    You can also place them in the sunlight for faster toning due to the heat. You must monitor the process to make sure that the toning does not go too fast and becomes ugly. Expect to wait at least 6 months before the first signs of toning start to appear and probably 12 to 24 months until you have something usable.

    """

    It looks like we won't see the outcome very soon...

    Porcello: it's a 2010 kook

    House: p sure dingo's would get eaten in this part of Sydney :D

    I was just checking some sites out on natural toning and the different colours that appear with the content in its surrounding environment or atmosphere.

    Sauce- http://hubpages.com/hub/Coin-Collecting-How-To-Tone-Coins-Naturally-And-Increase-Coin-Value

    is possible for the toning process to occur so quickly and the toning layer to be so thick that the natural progression of colors is completely bypassed. You may then end up with a black coin in its final state. The table below gives the natural progression of toning.

    Thin Film Thickness
    Color
    100
    Light Yellow
    130
    Burgundy
    200
    Cobal Blue
    300
    Yellow
    350
    Orange
    360
    Red
    380
    Magenta
    420
    Blue
    450
    Light Blue
    470
    Cyan
    520
    Green

    Put silver kook in an airtight plastic container with a cut in half very hard boiled egg and it will only take 24 hours to tone up nicely.

    This is how ebay tricksters trick those wanting toned silver coins.

    And if that doesn't work, try Chicken Alfredo topped with Parmesan and a Parsley garnish.
    And if that doesn't work, try spaghetti with meatballs.

    Next time, you will have to try Chili Mussels :D
    If that doesn't works, try A Tandoori Chicken instead.
    White wine goes well with these

    It's the sulphur in the egg yolk I'd think.

    Now you'll have to clean it! :)
    I hear that scouring pads do the trick - gets that genuine eBay effect.
