spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 12:00 pm That Mercury dime one on Etsy looks pretty cool. I think there would be a (small) market for something like this. A unique form of jewelry. Might run into problems due to defacing currency and trying it sell it though...lol Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 2:03 pm My mom had a Walking Liberty half that was cut out like that. Very attractive coin. There's no crime involved if the intent is to create an art piece. Like the Buffalo too. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
StJoeBlues Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 5:33 pm The cool thing about using Mercs or Walkers is that you can sell the pendant for more than numismatic value and you get to keep the extra silver that you took off. Double bonus! Edited by StJoeBlues 12/02/2010 5:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 5:35 pm That's true but I still don't like to do it with coins that have any numismatic value over melt. Report this Post to the Staff
