In anticipation of a nickel firecracker that I have in the mail, I’m looking forward to seeing how it ages. This is a thread for people who have patina’d copper, nickel, ECT. Maybe you have an old copper soup pot. Post that!
As a rule: this is not the place for people to message other forum members to ask them to sell it to them.
I’m going to try and document the journey of mine, so feel free to show yours!
Inspired somewhat by this.
psh i know im old fashioned but i think you should at least buy me a few drinks first…
We’ve heard the stories…
After a month of almost daily play, maybe 2 days sitting along at the most, it starting to get some character. No longer grinds like it used to, which I’m sad about.
In other news I got an A grade Copper joyride that turned brown almost completely in 2-3 days.
Was sharing this with another member and remembered there is a post on the forum about this.
I have not had a string on this one in a while. I bought it cleaned it to a bright shine played with it for months with freshly washed hands to try and get only a hand oil and string wear you can see the string wear on the patina the rest smooth and milky, the untouched cups have only become a burn darker bright patina the contrast is shocking, just love the way the Cu changes. a black Nickel Parlay will be my next serious investment as close to un damaged as possible.
That’s super tight, thanks for sharing!
