RenaL Pillar Of The Community Turkey 1205 Posts	Posted 03/05/2006 7:10 pm I came accross this while roaming in the net. The design is very interesting, don't you think? However I'm not sure it is a coin, it may be a medallion of some kind, e-mailed the owner and waiting. http://omnicoin.com/coin_view_enlar...px?id=898432 Report this Post to the Staff

If that's front and back of the same piece, then I reckon it's a couple of cents, cut apart, stuck back to back, cleverly resculpted and then silvered. It would qualify as "coin art" by some, "vandalism" by others. Unfortunately, it can't qualify as "Trench Art", the source coins are too old for WWI. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
RenaL Pillar Of The Community Turkey 1205 Posts	Posted 03/06/2006 04:22 am So there is such a reverse design on a coin? Any ideas why he is described as coming out of the coin, tearing the surface? Report this Post to the Staff
