Inspirational story

That's how one cash-strapped Michigan woman obtained the 84,000 pennies she used to construct a gigantic replica of a 1-cent coin, which won her artistic acclaim and allowed her to share her inspirational story.

That is better than any artist from any MINT I have seen, including, daniel carr, morgan mint, franklin mint, etcc....A true artist here, surprised it wasn't done by now, wow...

 

Pretty cool!

I hope someone searched those rolls before she glued them all. lol

 

My thoughts exactly. I'll need 500 gallons of 100% acetone, stat.

 

lol yeah I can just imagine a 1943 copper, 1992 CAM, or 1972 DD covered in glue hidden in middle of all those pennies.

 

My personal favorite would be an MS 1969-S DDO.

 

It has been done before.

 

How long did that take!!

 

Very Cool!

 

Back in the early 1960's in down town Atlanta, GA. Mr. Roy Pain at his coin shop, he had a large Indian Head mounted on large board that was completely out of Indian Head cents. At the time it was impressive to a young collector. So, if any of you saw it, I feel you would agree. The other picture made of cents is also impressive. Good article. -O) I wish I had made a picture of it.

 

Yeah, but an encore is always well appreciated.....
