It appears to me that the outer rim is "floating" and can be turned independently of the coin, allowing you to change the number which is seen through the cut-out window.

That would be the simplest and most elegant way to construct this, but I don't know if that would be "mechanical."  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Seller states that it counts from 1-7 smoothly, I might be a bidder unless the OP is already interested.

It is the first one I've seen, and presumably will attract both numismatic and casino or card-game related bidders.

It's at $400 with almost 6 days to go. I guess it won't go for melt.
