I like it. I would rather see them made into picks than be melted!

Next time I find a dateless 1916, I'm going to make it into a guitar pick. Jk

Cool. I've seen these before and I think they are a good idea. What else to do with dateless SLQs than melt them or carve them?

That's actually pretty cool. I know destroying coins is a no-no, but there are a few examples of other ones that have been made (from Lincoln Memorial Cents) which are less offensive to the hobby and still look rather decent. I bet a proof Presidential dollar would look rather interesting as a guitar pick. No idea how well they work, though. |

I actually bought one of these for my son a couple years back - paid $7 at the time. It was a 1925. He likes it too much to use it. lol.

Like them or not defacing U. S. coins in this manner is still illegal. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

Fraudulently modifying them (like, taking a dime and flattening it out until it's quarter-sized, then trying to spend it as a quarter) is illegal. Quote:

Buy 3, get 1 more Free!
Buy 5, get 2 more Free! As a coin collector, that's what worries me. How many perfectly good coins are going to be destroyed to make these pieces of art? Does the maker know enough about coins to avoid using more collectable specimens?
