<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2517394, member: 112"]Well I'll tell ya what - just for you I made 2 of them today, more correctly half of them. The half you can make with a coin, a hammer, and a piece of thin cardboard, (pretty much like a sanding disc in other words).And did it it right here on my kitchen floor. Rather obviously I don't have a die to make the other half. Made one of a cent and one of a quarter. And you can see the image as plain as day with the eye. And with a 3x glass you can even read the backwards letters and see the hair details. </p><p><br /></p><p>And then I tried for over an hour capture a picture - failed miserably because to see the image plainly you have to tilt it in the light, and when I do that with the camera the result is glare that blocks the image.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I got a deal for ya. You pick the day and drive over to Deland and I'll show 'em to ya in person so you can see it with your own eyes. And if in your opinion I'm wrong, then I'll buy lunch. And I'll post here myself that I was wrong in your opinion. But if I'm right, and I already know I am, knew it before I did it, then you buy lunch.
