These 3 items are the most interesting and beautiful " coin art" pieces I have ever seen, simply amazing detail: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160176842148&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006 1 more http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160176841460&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006 and 1 more http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160176840097&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006 I had been watching them and totally forgot to bid
They are certainly different, I dont think I have come across anything like them before :smile and If I an been honest I like them LOL
vERY NICE. Do you think They rather added metal to the coin then actually pressed the metal out to make the face?
He uses "repousse". I doubt anything has been added, but he does not show the back of the coin. My guess i9s that it is a hole. If you like this type of design, look at Wendell August Forge - WAF LINK -. They do not use coins, but it is the same type of manufacture.
I noticed the final value. Take an almost worthless cent, emboss an image, and now it is worth several dollars. Not bad for a damaged coin. Reminds me of the hobo nickels.
