Anyone have anything old made out of coins? Just wondering, here's a pill box, many years ago there were coin ashtrays, pill boxes, all kinds of stuff. Feel free to post a pic!
Very cool piece. I have not have an opportunity to purchase anything like this. I think I would if a quality piece came to my attention. Is there a makers mark anywhere on it? Inside the cover maybe?
Here's another pill box made two with Japanese coins, I'm not sure what coin it is, maybe someone else knows!
1964 Jefferson Nickel Coaster or Paperweight I have this 1964 Jefferson nickel in what looks like a home-made paperweight or coaster. It is about a half inch thick. When I first found it, the plastic was quite scratched and very dull and I couldn't read the date. I polished it up hoped for a 1939 D or something good, but it is the most common date made and does not look unc. If I have nothing to do sometime, I may finish cleaning it up. I'm sure I can make it clear as can be, but it is still yellowed with age.
Not quite as fancy as the items above.... I found this quarter when I was a kid in the 70s and recently repurposed it for the GF (it just so happens to be her birth year).
