<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 521242, member: 13650&quot;]Well, if you read the item description, he does say he made it using a full set of pennies.&nbsp; Every year from 1909 to 2008.&nbsp; Only missing the S-VDB.&nbsp;&nbsp; It isn&#039;t just a bunch of cheap pennies.&nbsp; So maybe it is worth the premium?</p><p><br /></p><p>From the auction:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<span style="color: black"><b>&quot;<span style="color: Red">The collection of coins used is&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; valued in excess of $1000</span>. Every effort was taken to insure&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; that the collectable coins keep their value. Each coin was carefuly&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; handled by the edge with coin tongs. The coin was then placed&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; in a small Kointain archival coin holder (pictured below). Only&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; then were the coins handled and arranged. The penny inside of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; the holder was attached to the acrylic glass using artist grade&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; archival acrylic. Each coin is preserved undamaged, and the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; artwork is designed to be disassembled. Removing the coins will&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; destroy the art but the still keep their full value and integrity.&quot;</b></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
