CecilCurtiss New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 08/29/2009 12:26 pm I have seen a lot of jewelry that uses fake coins but I have seen a lot that has real coins that are destroyed to make the pieces, including cutting away a lot of the coin or hammering it to create the effect the artist wants. I have seen spoons made from silver coins from Mexico, there are interesting, but they do destroy something when they are made. but to each his own. Report this Post to the Staff

I've never seen one of those before, and I think if I had one in my collection, I'd have trouble sleeping at night. If there had been coins in Poltergeist, that's what they would have looked like Report this Post to the Staff

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 08/30/2009 03:43 am Coins made into pieces of art? Or made into rings? When they could be placed into a 2x2? What's next, using coins in commerce? (It would be sad if this were a rare date, but at much as I like coin collecting, I kinda like art, too. If money were no object, I'd happily buy something like this for over melt. But, sadly, money is an object and I have to prioritize, so I'll look at art and buy unaltered coins.)

craigh New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 08/30/2009 10:24 am Ouch. I've seen gold coins come up on ebay with hole punches for stringing on jewelery; that was my long term plan for getting some key dates . This is the first time I've seen them entirely destroyed. So, so painful. Report this Post to the Staff
