Maybe find a flea market vendor willing to let you put some in their display cases and do a commission type thing if it sells , also mention you can provide art work on selected coins say if someone wants something special . Like a aussie kola bear coin cut or something that think would be neat to own and charge them a fee.

No dremel just a hand saw with a 8/0 blade used a dremel to drill the pilot hole thats all.

I already do custom stuff the Bahamas cent was a custom cut but people are generally impatient and not willing to wait for up to 3 months before they get their stuff...So requests are few and far between..

I used to help one of the original cutters when he'd come to the fair. He could knock out a buffalo or merc in 5 minutes.
He'd also do custom work. 1929-1933 dollars were popular for birthdays.

Back in 1980, there was a guy in Michigan who would take your mercs (the nicer you sent, the better your jewelry would look) and send them back as merc cut out with the rim and a hole at the top for earrings or ring for necklace. No charge, his profit was the silver.

I love handmade jewelry, and I love yours! Very well done and attractive pieces that I'm sure a lot of women and men would appreciate because they're coins and would love to wear these, and PAY really good prices for them.
Nice work :)

I'd say from all the replys that you really should look into making those for sale. If you see all the STUFF on ebay, HSN on TV, newspapers that don't compare with yours, you might get inspired to start a buisness with those. OPPPSSSSs. Forgot to mention that you should mention they are from coins. That too may help make sales. Edited by just carl

Nice work. I know you have fun doing these and can take as long as you want but if you decide to start selling on demand it will soon turn into a JOB! Keep enjoying.
