These do look pretty cool. Too bad they don't come slabbed so they could go into, say, a mahogany Lighthouse box, jbuck. Edited by CelticKnot 02/18/2021 9:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Found a bicentennial Ike, if I want a pair. I went to the webpage for the creator, but they are sold out. Plenty of other Ruthenium coins though.

How do they actually look in hand? I don't have any of the coins from Merrick Mint/ecoins, but I do have one of their US Mint 9/11 medals with the ruthenium and gold plating - it looks very good!

Mike33 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 02/20/2021 05:48 am I bought one of the Ikes. I love it. They didn't gold plate the stars but it is fine with me since I really just wanted the gold eagle. Mine is a 1974. Comes in a plastic circle holder and has a little oval stand you can push the holder in to make a stand out of it. I think the gold eagle on black looks gorgeous Report this Post to the Staff

I think I prefer the stars not be planted so that is good to know. Thank you for sharing.
