[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3651253, member: 1765"]Why don't they just have places that make cheap souvenir enamel pins just make a whole bunch of product and then call them coins? The after-market enameled coins of the late 19th and early 20th century can be really neat, if skillfully done. Modern decal stuff, not so much. Here's a 1693 British sixpence enameled on both sides and mounted in a "spinner" pin. [ATTACH=full]980836[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]980837[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]980838[/ATTACH] This is one of the most skillfully done enamel coins I've seen.
