Found this while CRHing and I know it's definitely some PMD but it looks REALLY cool and I was wondering if anyone knows how this could be made? The signature is raised and appears to be a metal of some sort.
This could be some kind of "souvenir" coin like offered on Home Shopping Network at a big price. I'm sure there's machinery that could replicate a signature on a dozen coins a minute. Just a theory.
To me, it looks like it was done with a simple engraving tool that is used for etching your name into certain items in your possession that you want to later identify should you be burglarized or robbed. https://www.keysso.net/commrelations/crime_prevention_tips/pdf_tips_files/Boat_Theft_Checklist.pdf
These cheap engravers simply move the metal they do not remove the metal. And to take a stab at the souvenir suggestion, why on earth would HSN or Coin Vault or any number of other retail outlets offer a "souvenir" of someone's name? I'm of the opinion that the coin has been engraved, with a name, more than likely as a gift for whatever reason.
19Lyds, I didn't look too closely at the signature (especially since one view was upside-down) -- I thought it was "John Kennedy," which would make sense for a mass-produced souvenir coin. You are right if it just an anonymous name.
