Coinsplus Valued Member Canada 430 Posts	Posted 03/05/2016 12:23 pm I found this little gem in a roll of quarters (hand wrapped, not machine wrapped) and was surprised to see this. Why would someone just dump this for 25 cents. I don't know what kind of tool that can cut this little coin with such details and precision. This coin is from the millennium series. Not sure how long it would have taken the artist to do this, and without damaging the rim. Surprisingly it is still a sturdy coin.

Start with a drill and drill out all the large open areas of the coin, than use a dremel with different size tips to complete and polish. Maybe a small metal file to get the small details like in-between the tree limbs. Report this Post to the Staff
