[QUOTE="illini420, post: 1281035, member: 19423"]I had the puzzle 1909 VDB made for me by coincutart.com He uses an ultra thin blade and cuts the puzzle coins by hand. I sent him a decent uncirculated red-brown 1909 VDB with specific instructions to leave the date and "VDB" intact and on separate pieces. He usually makes cents into 13-piece puzzles, but because of my special request, he made mine into a 10-piece puzzle. Surprisingly, the puzzles are somewhat difficult and pretty much need to be done with tweezers as the pieces are small. But the pieces cut so well and polished nicely so that when properly aligned they fit together very nicely. I just remembered I also had him cut me another Lincoln coin into a puzzle, a silver IL state quarter which has Lincoln on it: [IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/ILquarterpuzzle.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
