Interesting, but I wonder how much of the metal is lost in the engraving process? Perhaps on the order of a gram, maybe even a bit more than that? In any case, enough that if you were making them in any quantity, you'd be foolish to not do the work over a catch tray. But the loss of bullion value for the finished product wouldn't project to figure much into its pricing. Colligo ergo sum

A couple more....   The 1923 here is identified as being the work of one John Hughey. I also see Mogans that have been given this same treatment. Colligo ergo sum

Reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean. The ride, not the movies. "Dead men tell no tales."
By the way, they recently refreshed the one at WDW. If you sit in the front row, you will get wet.

Reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean. My thought was that one of this ilk would serve well as a pocket piece for Gomez Adams. Colligo ergo sum

Another pair of these (the first is marked "copy", and therefore not made from a genuine coin):   Colligo ergo sum

I always find this hang up with skulls to be the mark of a low imagination artist. "lets just do basically the same thing that everyone else has done before!"
