Now THAT is an artisan (but the skull thing is still not my taste!). Nice payday for him/her. Maybe we should refer to this type of Eisenhower as a "sbuck"

Not a big fan of defacing coins, but those look pretty cool.

Disturbing, but I have to hand it to those that made them that they are well executed.

Actually, it is pretty cool. I can think of worse things that one could do. No, this is not an invitation to do something worse.

I have no recollection of what you are referring too.

I did want to ask though do you think it would be easier to use a sander or a knife sharpening stone to smooth an Ike edge enough to use as a screw driver?

I am so SO jealous of the skills this person has.
That kennedy that Jayman posted is WILD. The way he incorporated the copper layer was just awesome.
I can see why it went for so much.

Those are totally cool!

Isn't it illegal to do that, though? The last thing on Earth I would want to deal with is having a Secret Service agent at my doorstep asking lots of unpleasant questions.

JEEPERS CREEPERS! That guy IS good. I'd love to see a video of how he carves these coins. Dang, mine look downright elementary compared to those. But then again, their simplistic crudeness just appeals to me.
