Those are pretty amateurish if you ask me.

 

Agree with John. Doesn't look like anything special to me.

 

Well the donut and Apu are pretty cool.

 

I don't think the OP was sharing theses out of his amazement that they where high end works of art, nor did I see him ask for opinions on their level of craftsmanship.

If I had to hazard a guess, the OP was surfing the interwebs and found them interesting, be cause it's not every day you see Mermaid Man or Apu painted on a coin.

I for one enjoyed the off beat post, as did my son. Thanks for sharing @manymore

 

To each its own. I like them.

 

Years ago at the local art gallery here they had a showing of an artist who painted landscapes, on Lincoln cents. And they weren't bad, fairly well detailed.
