ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 12/30/2024 08:21 am I recall seeing a guy who advertised that he'd make one of these "cut-out" coins for $15 plus postage. I used to have a collection that had all sorts of odd-ball coins and tokens; mostly, moved on now. A few cut-outs like a large cent, Mercury dime, Barber and Seated coins were included. The best one was an 1885 nickel in XF condition that was very well executed or "murdered" as you say! While the numismatist within me shuddered, it's long fascinated me how folks found so many different ways to alter and be creative with coins. My favorites were the "box dollars" or so-called "opium" Trade dollars that popped open to reveal photos. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95805 Posts	Posted 01/06/2025 11:16 am I like the Texas quarters, and the Roosevelt dime crosses, but how did they straighten them out and get them so long?

Work slow aneal correctly and you can change it any way you please. Report this Post to the Staff
