Blackhawk Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I have heard these refered to as push-outs, but don't know if that's the term used by most. This one is made on a 1965 Kennedy half dollar and has a three dimensional likeness pushed out of the metal. I've also seen them made out of Indian cents and Mercury dimes in the last few months.

Dockwalliper Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Nice. Only push outs I've ever seen were Barber dimes like this one. http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?showto...t=0entry75643 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 The image comes out of the surface of the coin a little more than ¼". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Aren't some of the more recent push outs done mechanically somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I've never seen one of those before, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likes_Ikes Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I have seen a few of those and usually you just see a regular flat half dollar with the soldering marks with the bust. What makes that one cool is you can see the warpage in the motto lettering "IN GOD WE TRUST." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
