Cool. I bet it is very heavy.

 

There was Chain Mail Armor and parts of Chain Mail made of silver. One such armor set weighed between 60-75 Kilos.
Go figure who the first Knight everyone wanted to die first, given that the Armor belonged to the Victor.

 

I saw this the other day. Someone said it weighed around 15lbs. Because it only has 2 narrow shoulder straps, the wearer said it gets pretty heavy and uncomfortable pretty fast.

 

Talk about getting something off your chest.....

Pennywise, pound foolish.

 

well someone is gonna turn green.

 

Destroyed a lot of coins to make a statement. Wait, what was the statement?

Isn't Zinc poisoning a possibility? LOL

 

Yeah, if they're Zincolns, I hope she doesn't perspire.

 

She better have a whole lot of deodorant on. Oh well, you'll smell her coming!

 

I'll bet she wouldn't wear that dress when lightning was near.

 

15-18 pounds depending on whether copper or zincolns.

 

What would the consequences be for polishing on those? Half of everything?

 

I'll bet it does

 

You made a point Mountain Man and I had thought about that as soon as I saw it...I mean, that is very beautiful, never seen cents like that before, But...Just curious, isn't it a crime to damage coins on purpose? I'm guessing that statement
" sounds good on paper " but they ( The Government ) aren't really going to do anything about that....I certainly hope so because I ground down a lot a lotta cents to the size of a dime in the 60's when I was a kid to make phone calls... OH NO!! I Should not have said that on the internet!!! Umm, you didn't hear me say that ...right?

 

To answer your question No.

Under Title 31, Subtitle B, Chapter 1, Part 82 of the Act regarding 1 and 5 cent coins, under Exceptions it states:

(b) The prohibition contained in § 82.1 against the treatment of 5-cent coins and one-cent coins shall not apply to the treatment of these coins for educational, amusement, novelty, jewelry, and similar purposes as long as the volumes treated and the nature of the treatment makes it clear that such treatment is not intended as a means by which to profit solely from the value of the metal content of the coins.

That might not be so bad.

 

I see zincolns in there. I think this dress will have some issues.

 

Has to be uncomfortable for many reasons, including starting out at less than skin temperature.
