Older Coin
July 17th, 2006
How can I make a coin look older?
I was given a Spanish coin and would like to make a necklace out of it. It is a new coin, so I would like some tips from making it look older and more worn?
Thanks!
Bury it? What an intersting suggestion… Maybe I’ll try it 
If you just want to fake-antique it for jewelry, it’s a lot easier and faster. Take a soft lint-free cloth, a permanent black marker (Sharpies are great for this) and some clear nail polish. Mark all over the coin and completely cover it in black. Paint clear nail polish on half of one side of the coin. Before it dries, rub most of it off with the cloth. Repeat for the other halves of each side. This is quick, but really comes out looking great.
