    What's up peeps? I go this set in a small plastic bag stapled with old rusty staples. They are pretty nice versions of the originals, does anyone know where they they came from or what they are worth? I have two sets of pics

    Worth a $2 or $3 at coin shows. I had to have one, but it is the newer designs.

    Not this time.

    A guy by the name of Bert Hickman makes these by shrinking genuine coins.

    He's the most likely candidate, although there are a few other people with the equipment and expertise to do the job.

    Hey! It is true!

    Actually, although these are not examples of his work, it is true that Hickman does shrink real coins. He uses high voltage coils to do it.
    I have a Kennedy half and Sac dollar that he shrunk. It is amazing - the coins shrink, but the details remain. The coins do get thicker, though.
    Pretty neat and great conversation pieces!
