Thank goodness they didn't have a photo of their double eagle offering, or I might have puked on my keyboard!

I say it's scary, but that Franklin bell is fantastic.

A tad bit expensive too!!!

yeah, but I think it takes quite some time before a coin is completely cut out.

look at that Canadian 50 cents coin, coat of arms, I bet he spends some hours on it, or the Australian coins....

too bad it's almost a year before your birthday...

I got my niece a necklace with a cut out Irish hare 3 pence so I say this is art.
Wayyyyyyy overpriced compared to what I paid but art none the less.

I am a sinner, I have one. Actually it is Lady Sisu's. I kinda like it, I just wish that it would have been left in its natural cu-ni color.

I like that Canadian '67 $1, but yeah, it's expensive. The Swiss also turns out verty well.

I have a full set of necklace, bracelet and ear rings of the Merc Dime. I'm a sinner but I love my set.

I think it is pretty cool actually.

Wow!!! Those are somewhat "pricey", but I kinda like 'em

Neat jewelry.

I guess it's more towards arts. Come on, most of his coins there on sale have a mintage of like some MILLIONS of them. But if he did that with some rare "trial" or "pattern" coins, now that's going to be a contrivesial issue

abuse

Well some of them would normally just be coins that'd either be worn out, or melted for scrap, so why not make them into something that'll last?

I have a Kennedy Half like this that I found out in a field while playing football

My guess is they dont have the picture of the Double Eagle because they arent going to cut into that bad boy until they have cash in hand

What's up with all the 'doobie' cut outs?

I don't know! First you paint them, then you imprison them without trial, now this! What has the poor coin done to deserve this? Some nice results though! It's still all 'Bling'.

Wow! David Crosby got his own coin?!!?

I am confused about this "art".

On the one hand, the purist wanna be coin collector in me said, "Eeeek--they defaced those marvelous coins!"

On the other hand, "Wow, what craftsmen, can you imagine the tlc they had to put into those pieces?"

I think I really like the jewelry and appreciate the talents of the craftsmen but it's not aluminum cans that need recycled--the coins are already valuable. Maybe if they made things out of trash instead of treasure?

I, too, am a sinner, or a least one of my ancestors was. My mother gave me a bracelet she received as a gift when she was a child. It has a dozen or more world wide coins with a single hole punch in them so they can hang from the bracelet as charms. I adore it and wouldn't sell it for a million dollars (or would I? )

On Ebay once, there was a Nazi era 5 mark cutout coin, and it wasn't the Hindenburg side that was cut out.
It was kind of creepy.

The mercs are nice when they're pierced like that. Piercing a coin like a merc or Barber dime has long been an exercise assigned to students taking a jewelers' course of study . Piercing, or sawing out a pattern in a piece of jewelry, is a standard procedure in making and repairing jewelry and silverware.

BTW, do you still have the pierced Bermuda Easter Lily dime charm you bought from me last year?

Wow. Benny's definitely having a toke, ain't he? ahaha

I have a Merc Dime cutout that was from my Dad's collection. I like it. makes for some very clear fields
